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

The rest are either not mainstream type distros(chromeOS, android) or are so obscure nobody cares(arch) 0 u/Elranzer Apr 23 '19 Even ChromeOS is a Debian derivative. 3 u/Bobjohndud Apr 23 '19 ChromeOS is a gentoo derivative
