I am curious about how many open ports the average distro exposes.

List your open ports using the following command:

netstat -lnptu

Here are my open ports (I don's use a distro):

Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 215/pdnsd
udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* 215/pdnsd

That's all I need for my workstation.

Note that "netstat" may not be available with that putrid abomination
knows as systemd.

Then I will not bother to answer your question, even as I know that
there is no relationship. Of course I have netstat and it works fine.

Use whatever equivalent.
