Anyone still remembers the definition or usage of the "flavor" in #Linux?

What I can remember:

  • Distro: .deb (Debian); .rpm (RHeL); etc.
  • Flavor: Ubuntu; Kubuntu; Lubuntu; OpenSuSe; etc.
  • DE: Gnome; KDE; LDE; etc.

I think there's another one but I can't recall.

Today, no one is using "flavor". And "distro" changed in usage to "project name" (like Ubuntu, Mint, Peppermint, and so on).

Or, I'm misremembering things?
