That's On Me, I Set the Bar Too Low

I think you mean GNU/Linux

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Cinnamon, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Unity

yeah...

There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...

Long ago, I used Debian on my main PC but decided to go with Ubuntu on the laptop because it was easy to set up.

Later I switched to Debian on the laptop, too, because ultimately I felt Ubuntu was just Debian with extra steps.

I could just rattle off random words and they’re probably real distros somewhere

Just say Linux and you covered most / many

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as...

Project 2501
SAL-9000
Hal-9000
Skynet

[List of fictional computers]

Off the top of my head:

OpenSuSE, Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Mandrake, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Backtrack Linux, Slackware, CentOS

Some of these have changed names or stopped being supported, unfortunately.

Debian Ubuntu redhat

Ubuntu Lubuntu Xubuntu Kubuntu uwuntu Wubuntu Edubuntu Gendbuntu PopOs Mint

Those last two ruined the list smh

WSL, Mac OS, Richard Stallman, GNU, the cloud

Arch, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Lindows (the one that was getting sued by macrohard in the past), Mocachino (not added to DW yet but is on their list of ones needing approval or something/LFS based distro), MX Linux, Sparky, Mint, Gentoo, and Fedora were the first ones that popped into my head almost immediately.
