Only 5 distros exist: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, RHEL/Fedora, and built it yourself.
You listed Debian three times.
Debian or Debian based
Ubuntu based
Fedora and atomic distros
Arch
Bonus: Nix
Extra:
Linux Mint
Bazzite
Void? Alpine? Guix?
Alpine sort of used but it is pretty niche and is mostly using in containers.
Void and Guix both have tiny market share and lack a use case
Arch is basically Debian with extra steps. Doesnβt count.
It is basically Debian except for it is nothing like Debian.
Right!
I don't get it
Nor do I, and I use both Arch and Debian exclusively.
Eh ... Mint is Ubuntu based, Ubuntu is Debian based so they're all Debian ... Also Arch? ^I ^use ^Arch ^btw
And OpenSUSE?
Arch? Isnβt that just CRUX?
Do you count openSuSE as rhel? Also mint is just Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is not Debian because Ubuntu has more up to date drivers software and what not.
