Please elaborate. I don't know how Linux works.

A distro is a specific distribution of Linux. Sorta like different versions of Linux you can choose.

So like subtle variations depending on where you get Linux?

The differences between Linux distros can be quite significant based on which one you get. They all have their own look and feel. Most distros look completely different from one another.

So in a nutshell, kinda like the Linux equivalent of the eeveelutions?

Wdym. All distros with the same Desktop Environment "look and feel" the same. And most distros provide different kinds of DE.

You can configure your Fedora KDE exactly as a Garuda dragon, for example.

Oh, and I use arch, btw

Yes.

That's like different Android manufacturers would have slightly different Android versions (preinstalled programs, default settings, app placement). You can install a ton of cosmetics to make an Android phone feel like iOS, but it won't function like an iphone
