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.

Definitely git
Which one doesn't have it?
Debian doesn't have it installed by default. Can confirm, I'd love to have git so I can pull down my scripts and go back to sleep with every new machine.
Sounds like a job for Ansible. ;-)
I suppose you're right.
at least Arch (and derivatives) and Guix. probably a lot more of them
it's easier to list which distros have it ootb (none)
real easy indeed x)
Comparing Arch's base + base-devel is kinda unfiar, there's only 54 packages total there.
