atk007, (edited ) Ubuntu with KDE = Kubuntu
Ubuntu with LXDE/LXQT = Lubuntu
Ubuntu with XFCE = Xubuntu
Ubuntu with Gnome … Where is Gubuntu?
Elektrobank, It’s a silent G
_stranger_, xubuntu
edubuntu
Ubuntu MATE
Ubuntu Kylin
Ubuntu Budgie
And cinnamon and unity for bonus points.
and that’s 10 🤝
resketreke, 
UwUntu for dessert.
cisco, There is Xubuntu, right?
atk007, Yeah typo
neonblade, Buntu + unity = ubuntu
Nilz, Or Gnubuntu to trigger people
somenonewho, 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 https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2023_Linux_Distributions_Timeline.svg there’s a fill out there but barely any reinvention of the wheel (not that that’s a bad thing).
SpeakinTelnet, The bottom 25% of that graph is all non derivative OS, that’s still a lot.
Buffalox, (edited ) 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.
starman, 
Without looking at timeline linked above:
- NixOS
- Slackware
We still have 2 missing…
Buffalox, I thought of Slackware, as the Original and first distro, but I couldn’t remember the name.
KISSmyOS, Slackware wasn’t the first distro, it was based on SLS (Softlanding Linux System).
Yggdrasil is also older.
cygnus, 
Void! One more, uhh…
Moobythegoldensock, Alpine
kronarbob, Not being 100% sure but here are my guess :
- Alpine linux
- Solus
- KaOs
SpeakinTelnet, You also probably have one in your pocket right now. Android.
Buffalox, 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.
SpeakinTelnet, I’m pretty sure there isn’t an agreed upon definition of Linux distro and android being a distro has been a debate for a long time. Some, like me, see it as a Linux based distributed os.
But I guess we could then say LineageOS since it’s even in the Linux distro graph
nogrub, i don’t think of android as Linux anymore since so much was added i bet they did a lot to the kernel to
DeterminedBauhinia, Actually android can run on a mainline kernel now xda-developers.com/google-pixel-6-6-pro-mainline-…
CosmicTurtle, 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.
exscape, 
You can, even in such distros. For example, you can run GNOME under Kubuntu.
dewritoninja, I installed gnome in my lubuntu install and then removed lxqt
nogrub, yeah most distros are the same often the only thing different is the packagemanager and themes oh and bleading edge software vs stable software
OKRainbowKid, Where is EndeavourOS in this 😢
MigratingtoLemmy, (edited )
- Void
- Gentoo
- Slackware
- Alpine
- Debian
- OpenSuse
- RHEL
- Arch
- Bedrock
- LFS
- NixOS
- TinyCore
Edit: no idea what Solus or KaOS are, I had only really heard of them a couple of times.
snake_case, That’s on me, I set the bar too low
AeonFelis, That’s the correct meme.
friend_of_satan, Fuck snap. I quit Ubuntu after using it more than any other distro since 6.04. Debian 12 has been awesome.
lemann, I quit Ubuntu after 14.04, haven’t missed it at all
fluke, 
You know what really makes me mad? Silanes. Silanes make me incredibly angry. After decades, I quit silanes. Fuck amorphous silicon.
LazaroFilm, 
- Raspi
- Hanna Montana
IronSage, I hate how easy it was for me to think of ten
MossyFeathers, Let’s see… Off the top of my head: Debian, Ubuntu, yiffOS, Arch, Gentoo, Red Hat, OpenSUSE, Mint, Fedora, Tiny Linux, Mandriva, CrunchBang, Raspbian.
Also I’m a windows user c:
Oxnvat, TIL about yiffOS lmfao
guacho, CrunchBang. That’s a word that I didn’t read in like 10 years. I feel old.
dojan, 
Makes me wonder if SliTaz is still around.
0x4E4F, It is… not very active, but it is.
MossyFeathers, I don’t even remember how I heard about it. I think maybe I had a live CD that I messed with when I was a teenager, but I can’t remember. I know I had live CDs for Arch and Mandriva though.
janus2, 
i had some good times squeezing every last package down to the bare minimum and watching my RAM and CPU utilization approach 0% via the resource monitor widget for tint2
only to have the laptop crash from tying to get a little too creative with fractals in Synfig :]
lowleveldata, I once used centOS for developments. Now I use Ubuntu Server after they killed that.
Rosco, Arch Linux Debian OpenSuse EndeavourOS Gentoo Slackware Void Linux Fedora Linux Mint NixOS
FuglyDuck, 
ubuntu, kubunto, Mint, LMDE, knoppix. Red Hat (Gah. fuckers.) Mandrake, Arch. Fedora. Debian, CentOS. Scientific. Slackware, Geentoo, mandriva… Raspbian.
And a runner up… FreeBSD. (Okay, so maybe it’s not linux.)
0x4E4F, NetBSD in my case 😁.
Gradually_Adjusting, 
The best jokes make you a little bit angry while also making you laugh
