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.

Who said that (you have to use their custom mainline kernel)?
Fedora have an IoT distribution that fits the Raspberry Pi for example. There's workstation and a ostree versions.
Armbian I've used in preference to Raspbian or whatever they call it today. I like the cleanest distributions as much as possible.
That's all I have personal experience with, but there are others.
Meanwhile, others have suggested other boards. However, don't think that Raspbian is it (pun intended).
