I agree that the majority of distros are based on debian/ubuntu/fedora but there are still some significantly different ones out there. The most interesting/useful of these for me lately has been void linux[0]. It is based around runit (instead of systemd) and has a very nice native package manager as well.

- pushpop 8y agoI'm not saying there isn't still some distinct ones out there. I'm saying in there is less variety than there used to be. variety is the key description I used. Sure there are few outliers still but the rest are just systemd + (apt|rpm) and there this really the same as what Linux was like 20 years ago where even Debian and Redhat were distinctly different from one another. Even Arch has come into the fold somewhat over the years.
