If I'm being honest, So many little distros just come and go that I've stopped bothering to learn about any of them until they have enough support that I know the devs aren't going to just vanish in six months.

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.

It is time for Linux distros to target the latest tech.
It is hard though, as you either get duplicated packages or need to let old hardware unsupported.
But see, on the Intel side, even my 2012 Thinkpad is x86_66-v2 or was it v3?
Even latest gen Intel i5 don't have AVX512.
