Gentoo. There's way better methods to learn Linux, compiling, and the filesystem hierarchy standard. Start with Linux From Scratch and go from there.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

the whole user demographic is like 5 dudes. I agree why go for Gentoo when you can go for Linux from Scratch. Maybe simply because it has a catchier distro name

Linux Mint. It really is not that polished and their denial to support Wayland means I will never use it.
And no, nobody outside the 0.1% of Linux community cares about intentionally hating Snap like a witch hunting cult.
