I've been using Void for a couple of months now on a Raspberry Pi-based project. I'm impressed by its balance between simplicity and functionality. Namely, it doesn't have systemd (rather `runit`) so it's a lot easier to understand what's going on without a whole other level of complexity. (Caveat: I'm running a headless/server setup, so can't comment on anything related to GUIs using Void.)

Second up would be Arch, which encourages somewhat manual installation and configuration, yet does include systemd.

Arch++

I learnt a few things installing/configuring it even if I used many other distributions previously.

Looks like what I want
I forgot to mention. I don’t need GUI. Just SSH.
