QOTD: What are some (GNU/|)Linux distributions that think outside the box? I'll start.
* Bedrock Linux - A "meta distribution" that uses black magic to install packages from any distribution you can think of
* GoboLinux - A distribution that uses black magic to eradicate the standard filesystem hierarchy and give each package its own directory tree, e.g. /Programs/GCC/9.2.0. It's been around for a whopping 21 years.
There are also the well-known ones like NixOS, Qubes, and even Gentoo but I don't see those two mentioned very often.

There isn't anything too far out of the ordinary there, but I like the idea of Chimera Linux. It's a new independent distribution, free of legacy cruft, aiming to create a simple yet practical modern desktop system.
There are also a small handful of what I call "micro-distributions" like Static Linux, KISS Linux, and Oasis Linux which aim to create the simplest possible desktop Linux system while still having a usable package system. Some might (justifiably) call them toy distros, but I think they're neat.

@mckinley Oh Chimera is the one using BSD userland?? Found that very interesting when I saw it a while back
