If you want to name them all, Red Hat, Debian, and Slackware where the OG popular distros that became the foundations of all the distros we have today. I ran them all back then.
Oh no, I haven’t forgotten SuSe. But it’s not an OG distro. It’s based off of Red Hat. Though I thought it was always a better version of Mandrake than Mandrake ever was. (I wonder what TexStar is doing these days…)
I’ve installed and used it several times over the years and thought it was a fine distro. I have never understood why it’s not more to the forefront with it’s rolling release. If you like RPM based distros, SuSe is one to check out for sure.
Arch came somewhat later but is now an established independent distro serving as a base for many many others (Endeavour, Garuda, Manjaro, BlackArch, CachyOS, KDE Linux <not to confuse with Neon> off the top of my head)
Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali… Honestly all I got.
Let’s Backtrack a little bit
Mint is based on Ubuntu and Kali/Ubuntu are based on Debian. That is kinda what the meme is about ;)
Yggdrasil. Rebecca Black. Linspire. Mandriva.

Umm, either wikipedia is wrong, or SUSE use went into the future:

Oooor,
you are talking complete bullshit 🤔
