Debian is 32 years old. Arch is 24 years old. Gentoo is 23 years old. Alpine is 20 years old.
In fact all major “corp distros” are based on community distros, for instance Ubuntu on Debian. If Debian ceased to exist, Ubuntu would as well.
Slackware is prehistoric
Slackware and Debian both started in 1993.
Came here to mention slackware too.
