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.

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

PorteuX 2.5: Portables Linux mit modularem Ansatz
https://linuxnews.de/porteux-2-5-portables-linux-mit-modularem-ansatz/ #slackware #slax #linux #linuxnews

Została wydana nowa wersja PorteuX 2.5. PorteuX to dystrybucja Linux oparta na Slackware, zainspirowana przez Slax i Porteus. Jej głównym celem jest bycie super szybką, małą, przenośną, modułową i niezmienną dystrybucją Linux. https://linuxiarze.pl/porteux-2-5/ #linux #slackware #slax

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.

Did I miss any? Please let me know, I will edit the list. Thank you!

#slax is a fun portable #linux distro. Worth trying out if you want a distro you can throw on a USB drive and run on any PC (with an unsecured BIOS). They used to be #slackware based but now they use #debian, which makes them a bit more accessible for casuals like me.

OpenSourceFreeCD – a live Linux distribution based on Slax, which is https://archiveos.org/opensourcefreecd/ #linux #slackware #slax

Also verified distro ID for #inxi / #pinxi newer releases of #slax #debian / #slackware releases.

I don't do these upgrades that often, the original idea was that distros would actually care and spend the time to help, but that plan never materialized on the earthly plane, so it basically just happens when I get bored and feel like doing it.

That issue stands alone and lonely, year after year.

Also some huge documentation dumps for Audio from #mrmazda gave a lot of systems and data.

@tivasyk #slax! Please donate to the guy too. Back in the day it was a bit huge compared to floppy linux, but these days it's one of the smallest repos out there, if not the smallest.

My mom gave me an old Dell Inspiron 1720 and I’ve been trying to install #linux. This thing is from like 2007 & basically crushes me while in my lap.

I’ve tried #bodhi linux, #zorin os, #ubuntu, #PuppyLinux, #slax

Currently in the middle of installing #Q4os which I haven’t ever heard of but seems the smoothest? But if you have other recommendations for what to slap on old #hardware, lmk. Apparently I am doing a tasting menu.

The goal: teach my 9yr old #unix, #emacs, #coding, #hacking

@ndrei nice! Not sure what my first thing was, but definitely went through #Mandrake, #Mandriva, #Ubuntu, at various places of study and work too, and now #ArchLinux, with a bit of #Slax, #Alpine, #Gentoo thrown in somewhere....

Long way back started out on #NetBSD but of course that's the odd one out here :P

@solene #slax is doing it in 250MiB. Very good job. Even has a WM!

Messing around with #multibootusb since it supports more ISOs, and #Slax had too many CPU bottlenecks on the laptop

::: PORTEUS :::

For a need to harness a VERY old machine with the power of Linux!

Porteus started as a fork of Slax, now evolved into a user friendly (yet radically light) Linux OS.

Unlike many distros with a package manager to download apps, Porteus uses pre compiled modules; just activate and deactivate.

Live password: toor. Please support Porteus development.
