Arch, Fedora(Red Hat), Debian, Linux from scratch, Suse.
Goddammit!! That's harder than I thought it would be. Then again I'm a relatively new Linux user, I've only used it since 2005. ๐
Edit:
Arh stupid me forgot an obvious one, Gentoo.
Without looking at timeline linked above:
We still have 2 missing...
Void! One more, uhh...
Not being 100% sure but here are my guess :
I thought of Slackware, as the Original and first distro, but I couldn't remember the name.
Slackware wasn't the first distro, it was based on SLS (Softlanding Linux System).
Yggdrasil is also older.
Alpine
You also probably have one in your pocket right now. Android.
i don't think of android as Linux anymore since so much was added i bet they did a lot to the kernel to
Actually android can run on a mainline kernel now https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-6-6-pro-mainline-linux-kernel-support/
ohh i didn't know that thanks for some reason my head thought it was a modified version
Although Android uses the Linux kernel, it's not a Linux distro in the original sense. The original sense being that's it a Unix like OS.
I'm pretty sure there isn't an agreed upon definition of Linux distro and android being a distro has been a debate for a long time. Some, like me, see it as a Linux based distributed os.
But I guess we could then say LineageOS since it's even in the Linux distro graph
