Ok fam, after about a week of being a complete and utter newbie ingesting tutorials about #Linux I think I am finally understanding two things: what distros are, and that for some reason my brain will correlate ANY technical topic with food.

Linux is ice cream
Linux families are particular flavors of ice cream
And like ice cream, there’s basically certain core flavors, many specific flavors, and always the potential to invent new flavors. The ice cream landscape seems to break out something like this to a newbie:

Vanilla - Debian; French Vanilla - Ubuntu; Vanilla Bean - LMDE
Chocolate - Red Hat; Chocolate Chip - Fedora; Chocolate chocolate chip - Alma;
Fruit, Strawberry - Arch; Fruit, Peach or Cherry or pretty much any other fruit - any other Arch
Caramel - Gentoo; Vanilla Caramel Swirl - Redcore
Neapolitan and Spumoni - When you do super custom stuff like make Ubuntu have rolling release distro using Arch’s package system with Gentoo’s OpenRC for the init system
Exotic, like cucumber or ranch or avocado - Everything else that isn’t one of the other big buckets like SUSE, Solus, Quirky, LFS, Zeroshell, Vine, etc.
Nuts - Slackware (I mean this in an affectionate way, butter pecan is my fav!)
Gelato - BSD
Chocolate Gelato - Solaris

Like ice cream, Linux can have toppings too:
Sauce - init systems; and some people hate chocolate sauce - systemd
Whipped cream. Yeah sure there’s different brands and differences in texture or flavor a bit, but they’re basically all doing the same stuff - Packaging
Cherry - the GUI. It’s only there for looks, you could absolutely eat the ice cream without it, but most diners expect it on their sundae

Distros - An ice cream sundae. All the things (flavor, toppings, what it’s served in) are presented to you at once. Oooor some of the more lean ones are more like an ice cream cone
Eating a pint of ice cream right outta the freezer container - CLI
