This template includes links to the most well-known Linux distributions.

It is not meant to be comprehensive.

The selection in the template should vaguely match the selection at Linux distribution#Popular distributions.

In the footers of Linux distribution articles.

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

  • {{Linux distributions|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
  • {{Linux distributions|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
