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.

Depends how you count it. Debian has between 120-200k apt packages pre-compiled for it on the various branches, making it the absolute largest overall in terms of readily-available packages.
If you count by source packages then it's either Arch's AUR with 85k or NixOS with 80k. But I'm not sure about these figures because both these repos have a low bar of entry and not all packages in there will work.
