I enjoy the memes, but I'm embarrassed to admit I actually don't know what the difference between linux distros are.
The software philosophy of the maintainers and their choice of packages and design.
A simple but important difference: the package-manager: apt, dnf or pacman (there is more but let's bring it down to these three).
Another one is security: apparmor or selinux
The last one are preferred and preinstalled Desktop-Environments.
And if you want to keep it simple, just be based on another distro and let them do the hard work.
Everyone can start their own distro. Manage some packages together, choose for example: Based on Arch, pacman, selinux and hyprland-wm and name it hypearch. Et voila!
I think you're courageous to admit it in spite of feeling embarrassed, and I admire that.
If we all ask and share without ego, the world gets just a little bit better. :)
