We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?

Bedrock Linux is a meta Linux distribution which mixes-and-matches components from other distributions and integrates them into one largely cohesive system.
…
Traditional Linux distributions distribute software which includes the Linux kernel. This is done with the aim of providing users a Linux based operating system.
Meta Linux distributions share the eventual goal of a Linux based operating system, but do so in a means other than distributing the end-goal software itself.
Other meta Linux distributions include:
- Linux From Scratch which provides a set of instructions to build a Linux system.
- Gentoo Linux which provides a flexible system which can compile the user’s desired Linux system. Gentoo describes itself as a metadistribution.
Bedrock provides a means to compose a target of the user’s desired system from a potentially eclectic mix of parts of other distros.

Trisquel GNU/Linux is a libre distro with zero proprietary software and zero obfuscated binary-blobs used in drivers.
So the entire codebase of your distro is visible and readable.
Based on Ubuntu, so it gets the best of Debian and Ubuntu, and then strips out the non-free cruft and possible exploits.

So not fitting the “built from the ground up” criteria asked by OP.
Did not parse that bit.
LFS, then. By definition, ‘from scratch’.
TempleOS should be obscure, but everyone knows about it because it’s such a joke.
