  • A distro is composed of:

    • an installer
    • base system (bootloader, filesystems, service runner, DE, basic apps, settings)
    • packet manager and packaged software
    • an updater between releases

    The biggest things you notice are updated packages. Many of the base-system differences aren’t even pushed to updated installations. Most of what the user sees as °the os° is the DE anyway.
