Which distro do you believe deserves more recognition?

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.

Search https://repology.org/ for the software you're trying to run.
If it's windows only, search for an alternative on https://alternativeto.net
If there's no alternative, check if it runs in wine https://appdb.winehq.org/
But honestly, I'd stick to the first two. I've been on linux for more than a decade now and do not miss a single application that runs on windows.
