The distro family trees are like different pantheons.
Distros are like individual gods. Community developers are priests and end-users are the commoners who pray for blessings, good fortune, and happy lives. Priests direct the prayers of commoners to their respective gods.
There is the Debian pantheon, ancient gods of peace and stillness.
The Arch pantheon, progressive gods that bring revolution along with a bit of chaos.
The Red Hat pantheon, gods tha- wtf am I writing?
Of course not, they also need to pay tribute to our Lords and Saviors Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds and make reverences to our supreme god Tux.
It’s just that they make all of that with extra steps.
