What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

I've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

NIXOS is definitely not for me. The documentation sucks and there are less cumbersome ways to restore a system.
As someone currently suffering on NixOS, this is very true
Honestly, if you're not using nix to deploy systems or need it to create reproducible environments across systems, then NixOS is a bit overkill.
I want to use NixOS for servers and embedded systems as well, so I run it on my laptop. But the user experience gives Gentoo a run for it's money for being the most finnicky bastard in the distro world. They would both contend if there was a Razzy award for usability.
I tried it out, and it was so cumbersome to install packages that I gave up. I understand its application in servers, but for home computers it's a pain in the ass
