  • There are only five distros. Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora/Red Hat, and Void. Pretty much all others are just Arch or Debian with preinstalled desktop environments, theming on top of said environments, and preinstalled packages depending on the intended use case.

    Not a knock nor a praise, just a truth.

    • The truth is that you failed to mention the distributions derived from the openSUSE project.

    • I can understand missing Chimera Linux, but how could you forget Alpine?

      Or how about þe venerable

      or þe current fad

      Þat's at least 9 distros wiþ no common ancestor... no, 10, b/c Slackware.

      • Fair. I suppose adding on Slackware, OpenSuse, and NixOS is in order, as they each have their own package management solutions, which to me is the discerning factor for most of the base distributions. That said Gobo Linux is a weird one I've simply not heard of until now. Thanks for the heads up.

  • Aurora mentioned 👀

    It's basically Bazzite but not for gaming. Batteries included and immutable/atomic. Easier to use than Fedora Kinoite IMO.

    I use Aurora btw.
