From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ubuntu is standing on top of Debian's shoulders then. So is Kali, CrunchBang, MX Linux, Deepin, Rasbian, Tails, etc. Linux Mint is standing on top of Ubuntu's shoulders which are standing on top of Debian's shoulders. As is KDE Neon, elementaryOS, Bodhi, Pop!, Zorin, etc. Fedora and RedHat are standing on top of each other's shoulders. Bazzite, Asahi, Alma, Rocky are standing on their shoulders.
EndeavourOS is also standing on top of Arch's shoulders. So is Artix, Majaro, Garuda, Archbang and let's not forget SteamOS.
That's how FOSS works. And you do realise that it's not a one way street right? They all contribute up and down stream.... because again, that's how the FOSS community works.
