This is a deal breaker for me: Debian repositories. What distros use them?
Yes, I googled, but the first one to be mentioned is Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not 100% compatible with Debian packages. Those lists are not necessarily meant to be what I want them to be.
I've found Spiral, but having glitches with it.
I've also found a certain Puppy version that seems to be 100% Debian compatible. I'm still invetigating it.
If you're just asking about derivatives, Distrowatch Search provides the necessary options, and Debian Wiki has a Derivatives Census and includes APT repositories in that information.
If you want things that are not derivatives, Debian Pure Blends is the answer.
I didn't say it did. I said it's what often turns up in the search results, and I acknowledged that the notion is wrong.

Not what I want. The only one that could interest me is the multimedia option, but it's a collection of packages, not a distro. It doesn't have its own installer.
Besides, I pointed out two options that do what I want and neither is in that list. That list is not what I'm looking for.
This is why I've come to ask for help in the forum.
I just came back to re-word my previous reply, but I guess it's enough to point out:
* A blend guarantees use of the Debian repos, nothing else does.
* A derivative may or not use Debian repos; that the two options you've named (but not linked) are not on Debian Census does not mean they're not derivatives.
From debian's popcon stats, so they're using debian popularity contest package. Not sure why 18 ubuntu users popped up tho, as pretty sure ubuntu maintains its own popcon, probably some form of frankendebian/frankenbuntu.

Not Rocky.

The connection with Rocky and Red Hat has changed in the last few weeks, you need to check that out because it's changing.
MXLinux is about to release MX-23 iso soon, the repositories I have from MX-21 is all Debian nothing else just Debian.
