Debian, Ubuntu and Mint: What is the compatibility between repositories?

Today, I will share a small list that I have been using for a long time, and that I have decided to update. The same, I use it when, for various reasons, I had to and must, choose a suitable (compatible) repository about my previous Debian, Ubuntu and Mint distros used, or based on them, as is currently MX Linux.

If you think there is something can be improved or corrected, it will be great to read in the comments your contribution for the benefit of all those users who use some of the GNU / Linux Distros mentioned before.
