Linux is trademarked. (Wikipedia)
And since Linux is opensource, what would the revenue be on this domain?

sublicense to use the "Linux" trademark in commerce according to Linux Foundation. A lot o linux relative domains like linuxdistros.com are consider premium. There a lot of ideas for commercial use of relative domains.

Right, must admit I didn't research the name that deep.
linuxdistros.com does not contain anything.

All I could think of that domain is to list Linux Versions.
You have any other suggestions what you could do with that name?

If you had planned to develop this domain WITH LICENSED PERMISSION from the Linux Foundation, it's still not worth much. As a linux user, my inclination would be to look for the desired distro first and then for the version so it does not make sense to me in your generic context.

Contact NameCheap support and ask them nicely if they will Grace Delete and give you a refund
