I labeled some of the lesser known logos. The criteria are arbitrary and I made this based on how much I liked using it.

Note that Fedora Sway Atomic isn't bad, but I had a bad experience because I was trying to install NIri on it and it clearly wasn't meant for that. Basically, it's just not for me.

I wanted to rank Manjaro low because I heard bad things about it, but I think I used it for like a few minutes because I wanted to try Gnome, and I didn't like Gnome after trying it and didn't want to deal with uninstalling all the Gnome stuff manually, so I just hopped to another distro.

Tierlist of Linux distros. S Tier has: Void Linux, Nix OS, Debian and Artix Linux. A Tier has: Arco Linux (RIP) and Arch Linux. B Tier has Linux Mint. C Tier has: Aurora Linux and KDE Neon. D Tier has Fedora Sway Atomic. F Tier is empty. There is an unranked tier at the bottom, with distros unranked due to not enough usage, these are Manjaro Linux, OpenSuse and standard Fedora Linux.

Why is debian S tier, and Arch A tier? They both use systemd. For me I would switch Artix and Arch tbh. I had lots of issues with the artix repo because of hidden systemd dependencies. Void, probably was the smoothest experience I ever had. Shout out to Luke Smith back in the days who had great rice for void.

    The answer is simple: when I used Debian, I was just starting out with Linux and didn't mess with systemctl at all. It was an ok beginner experience (I'd already used Mint before trying Debian, so I was at more of an intermediate level) but I probably wouldn't like it as much nowadays.

    I like the idea of using different software for different things, why do systemd timers exist when there's already crontab, for example?

    Meanwhile, I mostly used Arch on my server where I had to deal with all the systemd stuff, which was rarely useful for my purposes.

    I can see why people rate Debian so highly,

    It's as strong as a brick, albeit, it's about as exciting as one too.

    I will admit I'm a newish Linux user starting about 6 years ago, but I use it on a server and it's just bulletproof ... and easy.
