    Nope, haha. OpenSuse is old.

    This is an amazing graph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg

    OpenSuse comes from Suse which comes from Jurix and Slackware. There’s a dotted line from Redhat, because of the use of the RPM format, but that is as far as their interbred. Many people consider it one of the OG distros.

    Arch sprang from the aether later, but one could argue it owes Gentoo for its concept (also a dotted line there).

    Debian is an OG. It, Redhat, and Suse are approximately the same age.

    Slackware on the other hand just keeps going.
