Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I believe they are still part of a different package. They aren't Wayland native though so they will use a bit more battery life and won't be able to see wayland components
I would love to see an ostree-based (immutable) Debian for both stable and unstable.
Aside from that, my nitpicks aren't distro-oriented.
Can we get a free software only version of every distro? That's what I want.
I'd love yearly Debian releases instead of just every 2 years.
NixOS
Mostly perfect in my opinion but it'd be nice if when they renamed options they didn't deprecate the old option names so old configs still worked
I wish Gentoo would make important information like unmasking packages more easily accessible, like directly into the handbook itself so that I don't have to search how to do it every time I need to unmask a package (I always forget how to).
I also wish alpine Linux had an option to use glibc instead of musl
Garuda. I wish the base install of wine actually worked, and that half the packages in chaotic-aur weren't buggy as fuck or just completely non functional.
Slackware: nothing, it's perfect just the way it is.
I still don't know the technical details between zram and zswap but I feel like fedora should switch to zswap and support hibernation out the box
