Remember that massive Debian family tree thread? It officially has a home on my Codeberg now.

I have cleaned it up, fixed the links, and organized it so it is easier to navigate. If you are looking for a non-Ubuntu Debian based distro, this is a decent place to start.

View the list here: https://codeberg.org/resplendent606/terminal-tilt/src/branch/main/docs/debian-distros.md

Pull Requests are welcome, or you can just tell me here.

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:

Proxmox VE - Server, machine host for VMs
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.
VyOS – Network OS for routers and firewalls.

Embedded, IoT, and Media:

Raspberry Pi OS - OS specifically for Raspberry Pi
DietPi - lightweight, optimized base for hobbyist boards.
OSMC - Turn hardware into dedicated Kodi media center.
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.
FuriOS – OS for the FuriLabs FLX1, includes Waydroid.

Philosopy and Geopolitics:

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

Feliz #ViernesDeEscritorio

Comparto otra perspectiva de mi escritorio #GNU #Linux, con la distribución #Elive, que usa el entorno #enlightenment

@ja_nube ¡ya! Es un escritorio bastante diferente a todo, eso me gusta. Lo he usado con la distro #Elive, aunque me parece divertido, lo siento algo pesado luego de un rato de trabajo. Tengo la teoría de que es el entorno que usan para las pantallas de muchas producciones de televisión y cine, especialmente del género de ciencia ficción y súper héroes.

Elive Linux 3.8.44 has been released
https://www.opensourcefeed.org/elive-3844-release/

#elive #linux #opensource

Did some theming for Enlightenment E26 to make it more #Elive #Retrowave compliant. E16 has gone as far as it can and now it's time to move on to the latest #enlightenment and upgrade #EliveLinux as it always brings along the latest git-version available.
I made a small Howto here:
https://forum.elivelinux.org/t/howto-make-e26-look-coherent-with-e16-retrowave
#linux #Debian #bookworm

@TheEvilSkeleton And then there's #Elive that has "impermutable mode" as a boot mode. That's where all local changes will be lost after a reboot. A nice way to do quick, worry-free tests (Yes even "sudo rm -rf /" :😂 ) and have your system spared and clutter free.
It's for us lazy people who hate back-stepping and repairing.😇

@withersailor @Borgzilla There's also #Elive Retrowave to consider.
You get to choose in the installer which system you want.

Just tried installing #Elive Retrowave on an old #Asus Transformer T100t and was rather put off by most web-searches about booting and installing #linux .
And you know what?
It was no problem at all. 😎 #Retrowave had all the necessary ia32 boot options already included on the iso. I think it's the only distro that does that.
Great stuff, only requiring 350Mb of the 2Gb RAM for a full, smooth and snappy desktop/tablet experience.

@PureTryOut @howrar Well there are distros that are specifically geared to their default DE like #Elive #linux #RetroWave There's no way any distro can just 'slap that on' as the saying goes.

Została wydana specjalna wersja dystrybucji Linux Elive Retro https://linuxiarze.pl/elive-3-8-32-retro/ #linux #debian #elive #enlightenment

#Elive #linux #RetroWave special edition is finally out. 😀
Bring that older #retro hardware like your #thinkpad out from under the dust and give them a new lease of life. Especially the i386 version is crafted to be super light on resources. 👍
It's available for free and in the i386 and amd64 version here:
https://eliveisos.elivecd.org/retro/
#foss

Yanked out my trusty old #thinkpad X61T again to testdrive the special edition #Elive #Linux #RetroWave RC2 and again it runs snappy and pretty with only a few minor bugs.
Almost ready for the final release next week.

#Elive #RetroWave RC2 is out is and available for free through bittorrent. It just started here
http://mgnet.me/.EliveRetroWave

Anyone else going to #eLive in #NewOrleans ? Should be a good time 😃

Hah, test driving the first Beta release of #Elive Retro. Fittingly on an old Thinkpad X61T 😎
Looks very fancy albeit still some minor bugs to squash.
#linux

@jose_exposito 'touchegg' and 'touche' work great on #Elive using E16. Great job.

@jose_exposito Thank you for all the work you've done there. It really helped a lot on #Elive #Linux. 😃
https://forum.elivelinux.org/t/using-an-xp-pen-22-pro-tablet-on-elive-linux-x64

The special retro #elive #linux edition using #retrowave theme is coming along nicely.
Expect a final release shortly.

Hast du dir schon mal #eLive angesehen? gerade wenn das Laptop nicht mehr ganz Taufrisch ist.
