I just learned to not care. I say "hi" to notify that I'm there and let them type. When an answer is required from me I pay attention, think and answer. Until then I ignore it.
I found it so much easier for me to learn not to be (too) distracted than to lose my mind trying to educate humanity to adapt to me.
I think I've looked at Subtle, and it's interesting and worth a look, though it has design tradeoffs that doesn't fit me (and I wanted something entirely in Ruby rather than "just" scriptable in Ruby) But that's cool - my thought on this is that I'd rather have many tightly focused options than huge sprawling ones...
There are of course some niche distris that aren't based on the "big ones".
But I'm not sure Slackware is still at this point relevant enough to be named in a row with the others I've mentioned.
Of course the sampling was subjective, and I didn't intended to marginalize any not mentioned distris. I just thought the others are too niche to be included in such kind of pick.
Besides mentioning Slackware for historical reasons I should have also mentioned NixOS, which I forgot.
The former was the first Linux distri, the later gained some respectable user-base in the last years, I think.
Ah, and there is also Alpine which you can see sometimes here and there. (People using it in containers for reasons I've never understood as that's imho a recipe for trouble.)
But if you look at the rest of the list most of the stuff is really obscure. (I've tried some Solaris derivatives and Exherbo in the past but didn't even heard of all the other names.)
This describes absolutely nothing to me. It just confuses and excludes me. Then if and when I understand what it means I then have constantly translate mentally between the cute-yet-infuriating names and their actual meaning in the context.
