== Technical ==
The following distributions have several editions, some of which are without cost and some of which do cost money: [[Caixa Mágica]], [[Mandriva Linux]], [[MEPIS]] and [[Red Flag Linux]].
The table below shows the default file system, but many Linux distributions support some or all of [[ext2]], [[ext3]], [[ext4]], [[Btrfs]], [[ReiserFS]], [[Reiser4]], [[JFS (file system)|JFS]], [[XFS]], [[GFS2]], [[OCFS2]], and [[NILFS]]. It is possible to install Linux onto most of these file systems. The ext file systems, namely ext2, ext3, and ext4 are based on the original Linux file system.
 
File systems have been developed by companies to meet their specific needs, by hobbyists, or adapted from [[Unix]], Microsoft Windows, and other operating systems. Linux has full support for XFS and JFS, [[File Allocation Table|FAT]] (the [[DOS]] file system), and [[Hierarchical File System (Apple)|HFS]], the main file system for the [[Macintosh]]. Support for Microsoft [[Windows NT]]'s [[NTFS]] file system has been developed and is now comparable with other native Unix file systems. CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs' [[ISO 9660]] and [[Universal Disk Format]] (UDF) are supported.
The following distributions cost money: [[Elive]], [[Linspire]]<ref>[http://shop.linspire.com/shopping/shopping_cartcontents.php Linspire.com - Products<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, [[Novell Open Enterprise Server]]<ref>[http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/howtobuy.html How to Buy: Novell Open Enterprise Server 2<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, [[Red Hat Enterprise Linux]]<ref>[https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/server/rhel.html redhat.com | Red Hat Enterprise Linux<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/ redhat.com | Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Operating Systems<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, [[Rxart]]<ref>[http://www.rxart.com.ar/ventas/ventas.htm Linux- RXART- Soluciones Linux - Linux Solutions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, [[SUSE Linux distributions|SUSE Linux Enterprise]]<ref>[http://www.novell.com/linux SUSE Linux Enterprise Operating Systems from Novell]</ref>, [[Xandros]]<ref>[http://www.xandros.com/products/desktop/specs.html Xandros<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.
 
Unlike other operating systems, Linux and Unix allow any file system regardless of the medium it is stored on, whether that medium is a magnetic disk, an optical disk (CD, DVD, etc.), a USB flash memory key, or even contained within a file located on another file system. Similarly, many C compilers (mainly [[GNU Compiler Collection]] (GCC)), init systems (mainly [[sysvinit]]), desktop environments and window managers are widely supported.
Note that when talking about "free software", the word "free" refers to software freedom, not monetary cost: for an explanation of the difference, see [[The Free Software Definition]].

The following table shows the default file system, but many Linux distributions support some or all of [[ext2]], [[ext3]], [[ext4]], [[ReiserFS]], [[Reiser4]], [[JFS (file system)|JFS]] , [[XFS]] , [[Global File System|GFS]], [[Global File System|GFS2]], [[OCFS]], [[OCFS2]], and [[NILFS]]. It is possible to install Linux onto the majority of these file systems. The ext file systems, namely ext2, ext3 and ext4 are based on the original Linux file system. File systems have been developed by companies to meet their specific needs, and by hobbyists, or adapted from UNIX, Microsoft Windows, and other operating systems. Linux has full support for [[XFS]] and [[IBM Journaled File System 2 (JFS2)|JFS]], along with [[File Allocation Table|FAT]] (the [[MS-DOS]] file system), and [[Hierarchical File System|HFS]] which is the primary file system for the [[Macintosh]]. Support for Microsoft [[Windows NT]]'s [[NTFS]] file system has appeared, and is now comparable to the support available for other native [[UNIX]] file systems. CDs, DVDs, and BluRay discs' [[ISO 9660]] and [[Universal Disk Format]] (UDF) are supported. Unlike other operating systems, Linux and UNIX allow any file system to be used regardless of the media it is stored in, whether it is a hard drive, a disc (CD,DVD...), an USB key, or even contained within a file located on another file system.
 
Similarly, many C-compilers, desktop environments and window managers are widely supported.

==Package management and installation==
Information on features in the distributions. Package numbers are only approximate. Some distributions like Debian tend to separate tools into different packages – usually stable release, development release, documentation and debug. Also counting the source package number varies. For debian and rpm based entries it is just the base to produce binary packages, so the total number of packages is the number of binary packages. For Arch based entries, it is additional.

== Apple Silicon Support ==
{{Update section|date=June 2024|reason=Fedora Linux Asahi Remix has been well-supported for a while now; some alternatives like Asahi Gentoo are also relatively well-supported. It's quite inaccurate that they all get "Unknown"s. The Asahi project previously used Arch Linux ARM, which seems to get no mention here. I'm not sure why Kali Linux and Ubuntu get special mentions here. (It's also somewhat awkward to have a section dedicated entirely to Apple Silicon.)|inaccurate=yes}}
