Should've been this meme format
Should be...
You're a Linux user, name every distro...
Debian, Arch, Fedora.
Those aren't even close to all.
Here's a couple more i can think of right now (following your pattern of only base distros):
LFS, Chimera, AerynOS, Alpine, Gentoo, Guix, NixOS, Slackware

If you don't like Debian, go fork yourself.
You're being a bit unstable right now.
Apologies, friend. It was all mint in good fun.

Vi/Emacs, and get off my lawn

There's two variants of Debian: Debian, and "damn, this distro is not as flexible as I'd like, I guess I should have just installed Debian in the first place".
Yeah, that, ubuntu. Poor choice on my part.
“Name 3 package managers”
Apt Rpm Pacman
Rpm is really more analogous to dpkg. Does the local work, doesn't talk to repositories.
Apt to...not yum anymore. checks Dnf.
I'm not sure which one would properly call a "package manager", the apt/dnf role or the rpm/dpkg role.

That's only one
There are many Debian based distros, just all the Ubuntu flavors is enough
Those are based on Debian. Not Debian. If you ask for a debian and I give you pop_os, you'd probably not like it.
And flavours are flavours, not distro. It's the same distro, just different settings
Ok guys. This is the comment chain. Let’s do it. 🍿🗡️⚔️🤺
Then, if we are to follow that logic of excluding derivatives, then we get NixOS, Arch, LFS, TinyCore Linux, Gentoo, Debian (of course!) and... I give up; what else is out there?
And I use Debian, just to put it on record.
Void, Solus, Exherbo, Suse, Fedora...

- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
