A really neat graphic I randomly stumbled across on Wikipedia.
No idea if this is accurate but it’s fascinating to see all these distros laid out this way.

Where do you live in this family tree?
I installed Slackware in 1994 or so. Floppy. Disks.
Fast forward almost 30 years and I’m still trying new (to me) distros. Proxmox VE this time.
Proxmox isn’t a “distro” as most would colloquially think of one. It’s a hypervisor.
Am I taking crazy pills?
Do you mean you are using it to use your setup in a VM or container?
Proxmox VE is a packaging of Linux as an operating system. It is a distribution. Straight from the wikipedia page:
Cool way to respond to a comment btw:
The VMs I’m running in Proxmox are also Linux, but that’s less interesting to me.
I gotcha. I meant no offense. I was halfway hoping you’d tell me there was a spin of proxmox that was meant for desktop use that containerized everything or something.
It’s Debian-based so can install all the same desktop and window environments available there.
