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:

Devuan - Protest against systemd
Endless OS/Emmabuntüs - Built for schools and developing world.
Astra/BOSS/Pardus/UOS - State sponsored distros (RU,IN,TR,CN).
openKylin - Community version of China's Kylin OS.

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

A IT-Sec Christmas / New Year again? 🤔

Is this: "Large ZIP files trigger spurious possible zip bomb errors" → https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/unzip/-/issues/3

…this again → https://www.bamsoftware.com/hacks/zipbomb/

…or not or what? 😬

Die ersten @Datenpunks sind schon auf dem Weg zur Bürgerwache auf dem #Siggi, dem Herzen des Westens von #Bielefeld. Manche haben Malerkrepp und Stifte für die Namensschilder der Helfenden dabei, andere Mehrfachsteckdosen oder Vernetzungstechnik. Ich bringe 20 USB-Sticks mit. Von denen lassen sich verschiedene Gnu/Linux-Distributionen und Desktops starten, und zwar diese:
:linuxmintnew: :archlinux: :mxlinux: :debian: :fedora: :opensuse: :cachyos: :zorin: :elementaryos: :endeavourOS: :ubuntu: :gnome: :kde: :xfce:

Ab 15:30 Uhr erwarten wir die Teilnehmenden mit ihren Laptops, um ihnen beim Installieren von Gnu/Linux zu helfen. :tux: Ihr könnt noch spontan dazukommen!
https://datenpunks.de/event/linux-install-party-4/

Für den Fall, dass etwas schief geht, sind auch ein paar Rettungssysteme auf den Multi-Boot-Sticks (#grml, #systemrescue, #supergrub, #bootrepair) und #rescuezilla für Backups. Die Datensicherung solltet ihr allerdings schon vorher gemacht haben, denn dafür wird die Zeit in der Bürgerwache nicht reichen.

Anlass dieser Popup-Werkstatt ist das Ende von Windows 10. Ihr wisst ja hoffentlich alle, dass ihr Windows 10 nicht mehr benutzen solltet, denn seit dem 14.10.2025 gibt es dafür keinen Support mehr, also auch keine Sicherheitsupdates. (Wer Microsoft seine persönlichen Daten schenkt, bekommt eine Gnadenfrist von einem Jahr.) Windows 11 lässt sich auf vielen Laptops nicht installieren, obwohl sie noch einwandfrei sind. Auf fast allen lässt sich Gnu/Linux installieren, und damit werden sie so schnell und sicher sein wie noch nie. Eure Windows-Dateien könnt ihr auch unter Linux öffnen – wenn nicht lokal, dann in einer Web-App.
