Linux isnt windows so I reject that comparison. But by your logic anything running nix is nixOS or anything using debian is debian. Plenty of distros share repos, kernels, software but they are still independent distros.
Yes my phone does run samsungOS but it also runs the android kernel. We generalize when we say “android” the same as we generalize when we call all linux distros “linux”
No I dont use arch and I’ve never claimed I use arch. I just point out that if you dont use arch its cringe to tell people you run arch. Thats just common sense I thought but there are many non arch users that are feeling attacked by me pointing that out.
Yes I am using it differently than the distrowatch websites search filter. And I would not call distrowatches search filter a conventional understanding of the word.
Im not saying independent as in they do everything themself from scratch im saying it as in they are self governing.
Endeavour is Arch. It uses the Arch repos.
If it isn’t Arch, then those automated Windows 11 installers with pre-configurations used by enterprises aren’t Windows. Of course they are.

By your logic every Android phone has Samsung os, LG os, pixel os and not android.

Is ‘I run arch’ your entire personality…?

I use Arch BTW (cachyos)
wat.
Did you misread? Or have a brain fart to misstep logic like that?
Also,
You must be using “independent distros” in a very different way from the conventional understanding of these words.
