There are many Debian based distros, just all the Ubuntu flavors is enough

    Those are based on Debian. Not Debian. If you ask for a debian and I give you pop_os, you'd probably not like it.

    And flavours are flavours, not distro. It's the same distro, just different settings

    Then, if we are to follow that logic of excluding derivatives, then we get NixOS, Arch, LFS, TinyCore Linux, Gentoo, Debian (of course!) and... I give up; what else is out there?

    And I use Debian, just to put it on record.

    The saddest part on your comment was that Suse was my first distro and it did not register in my mind. As for Fedore, althoug I still insist calling it Red Hat.

  • I initially typed "Suse and Red Hat" but then I changed it to say Fedora because I wanted to avoid some pedantic comments about "But Red Hat doesn't exist anymore!" or on the opposite extreme, reductive inaccuracies like "But Red Hat is for enterprise!"

    In other words, your comment is very valid. I also thought about just saying "RPM-based distros" because your initial list didn't have any.

    And I thought about mentioning Mandriva separately, but I know that was originally a Red Hat fork, and also now we're kinda getting into the weeds...
