Yeah, I think the balance here is out.
This is something that was understandable (wrong close reason)
This is something that can be answered with "No, Ubuntu is a Linux distribution", unless I'm mistaken
Instead it attracted a pile of answers-as-comments. I'm undeleting, reopening. Have at it.

As I understand it, it is a moderator who does so.
Any user with at least 3000 reputation points may cast a close (or reopen) vote. On this site, diamond moderators rarely participate in close voting, because the community here is relatively active in close-voting and reviewing, but on other Stack Exchange sites, moderators are more often involved in close ...

The -483 isn't an amount of reputation, it's what your change in rank was.
For example, if I'm in 3rd place one week and drop to 10th, I've dropped seven slots, so my change is -7. If I do better the following week and get to 2nd place, the change is +8.

My apologies: I was one of the "deleters".
This is the system-wide deletion logic:
a moderator can delete anything (no mod deleted anything)
5 reviewers voting to delete can delete anything (None did)
in your case 3 high-rep (>20000 rep) reviewers agreed that:

The StackExchange network depends on browser cookies to remember the login state. Most StackExchange sites use *.stackexchange.com as domain, AskUbuntu is one of many exceptions using its own 2nd level domain (askubuntu.com).
The use of different privacy tools becomes more and more common. Unfortunately these mechanism tend to interfere. If this happens, ...
