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.

Such a list makes no sense. What do you try to find out, its better to ask in a normal way instead like asking ChatGPT question phrases. What is your goal? Does it include Gaming in example? You should learn what stable vs unstable means, what LTS stands for and what a rolling release is. Some distributions follow a fixed release cycle, but that does not mean they update everything in the system. So is it slow or fast? There are so much nuances to this. Maybe this list helps you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions
