Linux distributions are complete operating systems built on the Linux kernel, packaged with a desktop environment, software and an installer. Buyers include hobbyists, developers, and users who want a Windows or Mac alternative, and many of these releases target specific regions or audiences, such as Windows-style layouts or localized builds based on Debian or Linux Mint. They differ from adjacent niches by being full systems rather than single desktop environments or apps, and by their base distribution, desktop choice, and target user.
