    (I thought I boosted this seven weeks ago. Mind playing tricks on me. It's one of a few things on my ridiculously long reading list that I actually do keep revisiting. I don't know what to think. I'm reading it in overlapping chunks.)

  5. I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

    Daily Drivers (Ease of use):

    LMDE - Linux Mint + Debian, no Ubuntu, Mint polish
    MX Linux - MXTools is helpful
    Deepin - Beautiful, preconfigured desktop, from China.
    Peppermint_OS – Lightweight, cloud integrated, snappy
    Neptune - Polished KDE Plasma on stable Debian w/newer kernels.
    SpiralLinux – Pure Debian with modern defaults (Btrfs, ZRAM).
    SolydXK – Simplified XFCE/KDE desktops for stability.
    Lingmo OS / Mauna Linux / Br OS - Recent, beautiful desktops (China/Brazil)

    Modern/Atomic (Immutable):

    Vanilla OS - Atomic updates, can run Fedora/Arch apps via Apx.
    blendOS - Atomic, lets you choose DE (KDE, XFCE, etc), can install applications from other Linux distros.
    Nitrux - Immutable, no systemd (OpenRC), Maui shell, immutable, heavy reliance on AppImage

    High Performance and Gaming:

    Siduction - Rolling release based on Debian Sid.
    SparkyLinux - Great for gaming, newer drivers.
    PikaOS - Gaming with high-performance kernel opimizations.

    Multimedia/Creative:

    AV Linux (MX Edition) – Preconfigured w/low-latency kernel for audio production.

    Minimalist:

    BashCore - Ultra minimalist, branding free CLI environment.
    Slax - Modular, tiny, runs from a USB stick.

    Performance and Old Hardware (Lightweight):

    antiX - No systemd, runs on a toaster (256MB RAM)
    CrunchBang++ (#!++)- Minimalist, Debian + Openbox, continuation of original Crunchbang.
    BunsenLabs - minimalist OpenBox, keyboard centric.
    Window Maker Live - 90s NeXTSTEP look, fast, retro.
    Puppy Linux (DPup) - Runes entirely on RAM, fast.
    Elive - Enlightenment desktop, high-end looks for 20 year old hardware.
    Damn Small Linux - Stays under 700MB.
    wattOS - Low power consumption and simplicity.
    Q4OS – Trinity desktop, can mimic Windows XP/7.
    Commodore OS Vision - Retro computing aesthetic.

    Security, Privacy, and Stealth:

    Qubes OS - Isolates everything inside Xen VMs, has Debian and Fedora as default templates.
    Tails - Amnesic "Snowden" OS, leaves no trace on hardware.
    Whonix - Extreme privacy via dual-VM gateway/workstation.
    Kodachi - Hardened, pre-routed live OS alternative to Tails.
    Septor – Surf the web anonymously.
    Kicksecure - Hardened Debian layer (the base for Whonix).

    IT and SysAdmin Toolbox:

    Kali Linux/Parrot OS - "Hackerman" suites for penetration testing.
    GParted Live/Dr. Parted - Disk partitioning
    Grml/Finnix/Knoppix - "Oh Shit Buttons", emergency ktis for broken PCs.
    SysLinuxOS/Kaisen - Built for network admins and system integrators.

    Servers, Cloud, and Self Hosting:

    TrueNAS Scale - NAS, built for ZFS storage and applications.
    OpenMediaVault - Turns old hardwrae into NAS
    umbrelOS/StartOS/YunoHost - self-host your own cloud.
    Univention (UCS) - Professional Debian for corporate identity mangement.

    Network & Radio Engineering:

    Live Raizo – Specialized lab environment for network admins to simulate and experiment with complex network topologies (integrated with GNS3).
    Skywave Linux – Built for Software Defined Radio (SDR) and shortwave enthusiasts. Preconfigured with specific drivers and software needed to communicate on the airwaves.

    LinuxCNC - Controls heavy machinery and 3D printers.

    Mobile Distros:

    Mobian - Debian for phones and tablets.
    PureOS - FSF endorsed, famous for Librem 5 convergence.
    Droidian - Allows Debian to run on standard Android hardware.
    LuneOS - Spiritual successor to Palm webOS.

    You could also consider Debian Pureblends, like Debian Med and Debian Edu.

    das sehe ich ebenso, meide Deepin Linux , sowie macht besser einen echten #UnplugTrump & #UnPlugThiel ... wer es genauer wissen will schaue per #Zapp die ZDFinfo Doku vom 20.Mai 2025 "Die Akte Trump" wie der PotUS im Schatten ... steht und m.M.n. seit 1987 erpreßt wird. ... Debian-Linux #Deepin Linux aus China wurde beleuchtet im März 2020 in #LinuxUser und die 20.3 er-Version ist -w3-netzfrei- auf der 2022 #DELUG-DVD 08 des #Linux-magazin.de zu finden ;)
