Soft-redirect to wikt:distro#Noun. Article was split from Software distribution last month (December 2024). While the topic is likely notable, the current version of the article has no references supporting verifiability or notability. A WP:BEFORE search does not appear to have been conducted prior to AfD nomination; searching for "software distro" overwhelmingly returns articles on Linux distributions, and this subtopic is sufficiently distinct that redirecting or merging here does not seem reasonable. Instead, I propose the article falls within the scope of WP:POINTWIKT, which states that pages which could potentially be proper articles but are dictionary-like stubs at the moment can be soft-redirected to Wiktionary using Template:Wiktionary redirect.
