The distro family trees are like different pantheons.
Distros are like individual gods. Community developers are priests and end-users are the commoners who pray for blessings, good fortune, and happy lives. Priests direct the prayers of commoners to their respective gods.
There is the Debian pantheon, ancient gods of peace and stillness.
The Arch pantheon, progressive gods that bring revolution along with a bit of chaos.
See that's sad, because Debian has the most number of derivatives; I.e.: children and would fit the deacription of Zeus.
But I see Debian as this old stoic lovable grandfather who, at the end of the day doesn't want any drama and just sit in the corner and enjoy his days...
