Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.
In fact, systemd is arguable a more important component covering more aspects of system function in a lot of distributions: home mounting, boot process, logging, init, cron... I'm going to start calling it systemd/Linux, just to mess with Stallman.
Uh no, it's not. GNU has been integral to the GNU/Linux project for years. Without GCC, coreutils, glibc, there would be no linux distributions. Systemd has not played the same role.

Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html
well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"
People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.

Long ago, I used Debian on my main PC but decided to go with Ubuntu on the laptop because it was easy to set up.
Later I switched to Debian on the laptop, too, because ultimately I felt Ubuntu was just Debian with extra steps.
This movie is the best. I remember I used to sit in my dads recliner and eat ice cream and just watch this all day while my parents weren't home. Then it'd freak me out and I'd have to turn it off till I got the courage to watch a bit more.
I like your commitment to the bit
There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...
I use Arch btw
Unless you've worn the sackcloth and ashes of Slack, don't even at me and my son.....
The flash backs to config files. Sooo many config files everywhere. But tarball are Yum!

I could just rattle off random words and theyβre probably real distros somewhere
My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.

Debian Ubuntu redhat
Okay okay, we only needed 10.
Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that's redundant.

Off the top of my head:
OpenSuSE, Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Mandrake, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Backtrack Linux, Slackware, CentOS
Some of these have changed names or stopped being supported, unfortunately.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as...
The OS formerly known as Linux
WSL, Mac OS, Richard Stallman, GNU, the cloud
Arch, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Lindows (the one that was getting sued by macrohard in the past), Mocachino (not added to DW yet but is on their list of ones needing approval or something/LFS based distro), MX Linux, Sparky, Mint, Gentoo, and Fedora were the first ones that popped into my head almost immediately.
Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali.... Honestly all I got.
Mint is based on Ubuntu and Kali/Ubuntu are based on Debian. That is kinda what the meme is about ;)

Out of the loop here what's that meme template/movie?
PS: Joke is good btw ;)
Debian based. Debian? Based!
They made distros after Slackware?
Debian, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, Slackware, LFS, Mandravia, OpenSuse, Knoppix, Puppy
And an honorable FreeBSD mention
I've spent a lot of time on the toilet looking at this.
