Kubuntu or Plain Debian with Plasma. And Raspberry Pi OS.

I have used the Arch family a bit, but not enough to be daily driver. Manjaro bricking itself twice in a row put me off trusting pacman and AUR.

Canonical pulls a lot of crap, so you can bet I replace all snaps with flatpaks at install.

Mint.

Mint is its own Ubuntu offshoot IIRC. Could be wrong though.

Pretty sure if I understand correctly, Ubuntu is also its own Debian offshoot.

I only switched to Linux recently though, so I’m still figuring it all out.
Tried manjaro too but its unstable badlu designed
whatever os the steam deck uses

SteamOS is modified Arch with locked, immutable root, so you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get the most out of it.

I think he just meant the only linux device he uses is the steamdeck, so whatever it's installed in the steamdeck that's the linux distro he uses

i guess so
openSUSE Tumbleweed, which isn't based on anything. So it would count as both specific and base.

openSUSE is it's own "base" distro, it is not based on Fedora even though it uses RPM. Arch also uses RPM but it is not based on Fedora.
