13 Most Promising New Linux Distributions to Look Forward in 2019

There are distributions that will always make it to the top ten, whereas others may be in the list today and not at the end of next year.
Another not so well-known feature of Distrowatch is a waiting list that consists of distributions:
  1. Not reviewed yet
  2. With missing or faulty components
  3. Without solid English documentation
  4. Projects that do not seem to be maintained anymore
Some of the distributions that have not been reviewed yet may be worthy of consideration due to their great potential. Keep in mind that they may never make it to the front page ranking due to lack of time or Distrowatch resources to review them.
For that reason, we will share a list of what we consider the 13 most promising new distros for 2019 and a brief review on each of them.
Since the Linux ecosystem is a live being, you can expect this article to be updated from time to time, or perhaps be radically different next year.
That said, let’s take a look!
