Amount of bloatware, malware, spyware and miners included.

>>
>>54996259
Different:
>package managers
>system configuration
>default software installed
>desktop environments

Since they're all open source you can always get the software of one distro on another.

The reason to choose one of the big distros (Debian based, Redhat based, Arch, Gentoo) is the vast software repositories make it easier to install what you're after.

>>54996259
logos

>>54996259
how the software is distributed.
The installer, how the updates are handled, how frequent the updates come, and what is installed by default.

Package manager, default repositories, filesystem layout, miscellaneous flavour exclusive tools
