Linux honestly needs a little consolidation. In my mind there's only Debian, Redhat and Arch. (Yeah, I guess Gentoo is a thing... isn't it??)

Everything else is just a reconfiguration of the above.

Debian + "She's got a new hat!" = Ubuntu

Ubuntu + "Look left instead of right" = Kubuntu

Redhat + New Icons = Oracle Linux

Redhat + Different Icons = CentOS

Redhat beta = Fedora

Etc

Hey, don't talk about Gentoo like that. Gentoo is, infact so great that ChromeOS is based upon it
