That's a very interesting question, Harrison, and welcome to linux.org
I don't know of any "one stop shop" for registering your interest for same, it may be a case of checking out Linuxes you might be interested in, and then making enquiries from their Home Pages and Forums.
Someone else may know differently.
If I can suggest - make friends with DistroWatch.com, and there, they have a page hit ranking for popularity, which includes a list of the Top 100 + Linux sites that are visited with a presumed intention to download and install.
Take a look at some of them, and see if any appeal to you to try out, then go from there.
There is also this at Wikipedia, which gives you an idea of the LInux "Families" -

Good luck, and let us know how you go
Cheers
