Uh obviously still git, which is used as a centralized repo 99% of the time. Why does this post read like it's AI generated?

It has been translated by an AI, rather than generated by one.
I feel like this is a prank of some sort?
Not really.
Sir, for how long have you been in a coma?

Git, Mercurial, Subversion, and Fossil are the ones i know. Git is so far in the lead it's hard to even mention the others in the same sentence.
What is it you need that a centralized version control system offers that a distributed version control system doesn't? For instance you could use git or pijul for a monorepo.
Ability to clone only certain parts of a repo. Git has shallow and partial clones, but they don't feel like the right tool for large/mono repos.
Git provides subtree (and submodules) which enable this with some planning
Maybe Fossil might be something for you.
From what I understand, Fossil VCS is a distributed version control system, rather than being centralized.
Mercurial?
