I'm looking for a suitable Linux distribution for my Raspberry Pi 3A+, but I'm not interested in using Raspberry Pi OS. I'm finding it challenging to select a distro that meets the requirements for my hardware, which includes a Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit SoC running at 1.4GHz and 512MB LPDDR2 SDRAM. Any recommendations?

Have you tried DietPi? It's lightweight and designed for low-resource devices like the Raspberry Pi, so it might be just what you need!
I'd recommend going with Ubuntu Server paired with LXQt. It works really well on my Raspberry Pi 3B, so you might have a good experience with it too!
Your options are a bit limited due to the ARM architecture, and you might face some driver support issues. Can you share what problems you're experiencing with Raspberry Pi OS specifically?
