from around the world

I currently have eight "favorite" Linux distributions either installed here on laptop hard drives or that I run from flash drives for live sessions. The places of origin of each of those distros, according to DistroWatch:

Debian - Origin: Global
Arch - Origin: Canada
openSUSE - Origin: Germany
Ubuntu - Origin: Isle of Man
Antergos - Origin: Spain
BunsenLabs - Origin: Japan
MX - Origin: Greece
GParted Live - Origin: USA

Of course, humans all around the planet use, develop, and contribute to each of those distros.
