    basically there’s the big 3 (debian, arch, fedora) and everything else is just them with presets (ui, drivers, etc)

    debian uses apt, arch uses pacman, fedora uses dnf for packaging, so packages (app executables) aren’t intercompatible and so you usually have some apps that aren’t available on on or the other

    usually debian had everything, arch has everything with workarounds, idk about fedora

    anyway the tree is like:

    debian

    • ubuntu
      • kubuntu
      • lubuntu

    fedora

    • nobara

    arch

    • manjaro

    with DEs you should see which ones you like by testing them out, if you get the debian netinstaller you can select however many you want in the install process and you can switch between them at boot with the dropdown menu in the login prompt
