    Its how most Distros get started. Ubuntu is just tweaked Debian, with more than a decade of tweaks (and amazon spyware) piled up.

      Ubuntu is just tweaked Debian

      All packages are recompiled for Ubuntu and Ubuntu has everything in its own repositories. They literally distribute the software. If you just change config files a bit and the software packages still come from Ubuntu, it’s not really your own distribution. It’s Ubuntu and repository accesses still count towards Ubuntu stats.

        Yes.

        Also, Ubuntu is on the governing board for Debian, as a major stakeholder in their upstream distribution. They use the same tools to distribute software.

        3rd party repos like PPAs are Sometimes (though not always) compatible with both.
