Now name 10 distros that aren’t based on each other. And yes I’m counting the *buntus as being based on Debian.

If you look at the famous lineage graph there’s a fill out there but barely any reinvention of the wheel (not that that’s a bad thing).

Arch, Fedora(Red Hat), Debian, Linux from scratch, Suse.

Goddammit!! That’s harder than I thought it would be. Then again I’m a relatively new Linux user, I’ve only used it since 2005. 😋

Edit:
Arh stupid me forgot an obvious one, Gentoo.

I thought of Slackware, as the Original and first distro, but I couldn’t remember the name.

You also probably have one in your pocket right now. Android.

Although Android uses the Linux kernel, it’s not a Linux distro in the original sense. The original sense being that’s it a Unix like OS.

The bottom 25% of that graph is all non derivative OS, that’s still a lot.

I swear to Tux I hate how a “distro” is just some base with a different windows manager.

Like…why can’t I just change window managers instead of reinstalling everything.

You can, even in such distros. For example, you can run GNOME under Kubuntu.
