From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I worked on that.
It was SuSe with any branding or tools ripped out, the carcass kicked over the fence for the rest of us to try to make an OS out of.
It had no chance. What we got was a bleeding corpse after SuSE had a sellable product to compete against us all with.
It killed turbo, it killed conectiva and it killed openlinux. Horrible thing.
Wsl just because it is from ms.
WSL isn’t a distro.
I think you mean Azure Linux ( formerly CBL Mariner ):
Jarro Negro. Made by Mexican students. And as far as I know, it's independent, not based on another distro.
Oh jeez. I forgot about that. I had that running on my DS back in the day from a GBA flashcart with a big-ass CompactFlash card sticking out the bottom. Good times.
hyperbola
they have a wiki with insane nonsens about why they don't package certain things
https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en%3Aphilosophy%3Aincompatible_packages
Why did I read all of this.
Sabayon Linux
I used it for a few years, great distro. I think it's dead now. It was based on Gentoo but with thoughtful defaults and a very good binary package manager.
also Funtoo Linux, but i never really used it
Have you ever heard of arch? That's what I use by the way
Kolibri
KISS
it's just a single bash script and a repository containing package definitions to compile them from source.
Basically LFS on drugs.
Chimera Linux
I had not noticed that KDE is available for Chimera now. Very cool.
it's main feature is that it completely redefines the system's root directory structure. the only reason i even know it exists is because i'm friends with one of the creators
Gobo Linux has to have been the distro I was looking forward to most too. I really hope it picks up because it's design philosophies. Absolutely phenomenal.
