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.

Nowadays with Flatpaks you can use any distros you want.
@mfat and with Distrobox containers.
This is what I am using on Debian Stable
Distrobox on Debian Stable?
For a while, I have been thinking of trying Arch via Distrobox on Debian Stable. Feels like it would be the best of both worlds.
Yeah, I am running Debian Sid, OpenSuse TW, Gentoo and some Arch distrobox containers. It works so good! Highly recommend it
