As a heads up, the package managers for all of the distributions you listed are Zypper, Yum, Emerge, Pacman, and Pkgtools/Slackpkg, if you're inclined to look at their manual pages. Are you looking to switch from Ubuntu or something like that?

[WinMacLinUser]

yes, not exactly that, there are many distros based on those that look good to me, Ubuntu has gotten really worse, I'm not gonna use anything ubuntu based when I buy a new machine to install linux on.

[Admin]

I'm using Arch Linux now (after coming from Ubuntu a couple years ago), and I'm extremely happy with it, if you're looking for recommendations. There's a bit of a learning curve, and it requires somwhat robust command-line familiarity, but everything is documented incredibly well at wiki.archlinux.org.

There are many Debian-based distros which are not Ubuntu, all of which use Apt.

Here is everything you need : wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Rosetta

Thanks, how do i update the repositories, i.e. equivalent of apt-get update

[Rahul Patil]

reposync is used to synchronize a remote YUM repository with a local directory using yum to get the packages, you need to install yum-utils package for this command

Thanks, I am now installing the Arch-based Manjaro to give it a try, the cLI installer is easy for me to navigate, again, thank you guys!
