I don't mind adding forks to the list, or distros based on other distros, as long as the distro they're based on is a community distro and not a corporate distro. Like you point out though, there aren't a lot of those.
I used to use Mandrake back in the day. Those Mandrake descendants, as long as they're actively being maintained, could be interesting.
The issue isn't if something is a fork or not, the issue is if something is a fork of a corporate distro. For instance, there are forks of Arch that still meet the criteria because Arch is a base community distro, whereas OpenSuse is a fork of a corporate distro.
The problem with OpenSuse is it's based on a corporate product, not an original community base.
But how many of those meet the criteria of not being based on corporate distros and are also user friendly? For instance, I wouldn't exactly classify Gentoo as user friendly.
Base Community Distros
Since Red Hat made their recent decision, there has been a lot more talk about people wanting to focus on communiy-based distros instead of corporate-backed distros.
I was trying to think of how many active, stable, user friendly base community distros I know about. When I say a "base" distro, I mean a distro that's basically the base for its ecosystem. For instance, Debian would be a base distro because it's the base of its ecosystem. A community distro based on Ubuntu wouldn't fit what I'm talking about here because Ubuntu is a corporate distro.
So, there's Debian.
Arch is a base community distro but it's not user friendly to install, but there are more user friendly varieties of Arch available like Manjaro and a few others.
All of the other base distros I can think of are either corporate, or aren't particularly user friendly to install. Care to add your thoughts to the list?

No, the game I'm thinking of isn't an action game, it's an adventure game similar to Myst where you navigate by moving from room to room.
Do you remember this game?
There's a game I'm trying to remember the name of.
It came out for DOS, or possibly Windows 95. It was a first-person adventure game in the style of Myst, probably trying to capitalize off of Myst's popularity.
It was a sci-fi game where you played a drone exploring either a derelict spacecraft or space station.
I seem to remember the predominant colors being green and black, such as a green title on a black background.
When the game came out it received a fair amount of attention in the gaming magazines and was available at all the game stores.
Can anyone remember the name of this game?
I'll be honest. WarGames. I'm a big fan of 80s movies, but when I saw WarGames, it was very much meh.
Video Embeds on Lemmy
I haven't tried embedding a video on Lemmy yet so I don't know exactly how well it works, but it would be nice if in addition to being able to embed videos from the standard video sources like YouTube, the Lemmy team made it so you could embed videos from other sources too like PeerTube and Odysee.
Video Embed Features

My first experience with the Fediverse was Mastodon, and my second was PeerTube. Having interconnectedness between the different platforms, like Mastodon and Lemmy, is interesting, but also a little confusing with how it all works, so I just use the individual platforms directly instead.
I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.
Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn't like so then I found another server.
These days I mostly use Manjaro, though I've been thinking of giving the Suse rolling release a try.
You might be looking for a KDE desktop. Many of Windows's better more modern desktop features are copied from it, and KDE is very customizable out of the box without needing to install a bunch of extensions like you do with Gnome. KDE can be customized to fit many different desktop paradigms, with the default being like Windows 10.
I think this is just evidence that federated message boards are still very much a developing technology. Things like this are a little smoother on Mastodon, but Mastodon has been around longer.
