Like your list, I just state it without any reason.

Bad.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago

Yeah I agree with this guy. This list is bad.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I just wrote an essay reply and don't know why.

[-] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago

Arbitrary, exactly like any other distro tierlist

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Has anyone made a tier list of distro tier lists yet?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@thejml @technom And then start a craze so you can make tier lists of tier lists of distro tier lists

smart

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This tier-list is terrible, but what really makes me really mad is that there's no damn explanation, and that the tier-list is self-contradictory. Linux Mint good, Debian bad....but Linux Mint is indirect downstream of Debian, and it is really reliable, so the math ain't working? Arch good, but Artix and Parabola bad - the only difference being that you get init freedom in the latter distros? And seriously, what is KDE Neon and GNOME OS doing over there - they exist to showcase the latest desktop environment beta? And according to your logic, AlmaLinux bad, but CentOS good - when the former came to substitute the dying CentOS? And Guix at the bottom, while it uses Guile Scheme, which is more wide-spread and accepted than the niche half-Haskell half-something-else Nix DSL - let's also not forget the NixOS controversy and Eelco vs Nix community drama - and NixOS is somehow on the top-most list? ryantm's bot is really good and keeps Nix packages upto date, but apart from that, Nix and Guix are the same thing minus their language.

Don't forget LMDE

Also, you read the last column wrong.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

I see that you're trying to bait us, but the Cult of Debian doesn't talk about the Cult of Debian.

Wait, I didn't mean to-

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

there is a cult of Debian? where do I sign up?

The council members would like to “speak to you” about a recent “developments” we’ve been made aware of. We assure you, nothing will happen to you…

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I regret that I have to be the one to inform everyone of this, but I fear MajorHavoc suffered an unfortunate accident caused by a computer glitch in an elevator control system three hours ago. They will be missed.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

FYI : The embedded OS in the elevator infrastructure was the [NOT DISCLOSED] OS.

Tier lists are opinion-based, but I don't share yours

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

By the comments, no one does

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

Do a religion tier list next.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Brofessional!

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

this post is bad and you should feel bad for posting it

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

CentOS good (after they betrayed open source) but Debian bad (even though they remain one of the more independent from corporate influence distros and also serve as the upstream for over half the list)? What even is this nonsense? I agree Ubuntu and its official derivatives maliciously bad and Manjaro completely pointless but that's about all I agree with.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

This list is so bad, it has to be a troll.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

it's missing hannah montana linux :(

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Looks pretty much opinionated. I like the colors and the whole of the image. I can agree with Gentoo Linux being very interesting, but not sure about CentOS. In that case I'd rather use Rocky or Alma, though for servers Debian fits my bill.

This should be linuxmemes forum, not a serious one.
It's blatantly somewhere between unfunny joke and obvious troll.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Tier lists and opinions are one thing and sometimes they look funny or trolly, but based on the only one answer from him to any of the replies is:

D*bian 🤮

I would assume the same as you.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Without going into details on why you rank each distro the way you did, its just useless and baseless... Not helpful to anyone, at all, for any reason. Am I going to consult it for my next project? Absolutely not. I implore folks to do their own research and testing for their use case.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

To add to this, another piece of this is: who are you that would make someone consider your picks over some other Joe schmoe ? Not saying your opinion doesn't matter, but what I'm saying is what would make your opinion hold any weight to anyone reading? Your reasoning may help, but you didnt give that.

Posting tier lists with no context isnt helpful...

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Might as well give us your ranking of vegetables.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Not really sure how archinstall factors in since it wasn't around yet when I first installed, but I love EndeavourOS. I've installed arch before, but I really can't be bothered if I'm just going to end up installing all of the same packages the GUI could give me in less time anyway. Yeah, EndeavourOS is just arch with some small extra packages and a GUI installer, but that's exactly why I like it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Archinstall is not at all newbie friendly, especially compared to calamares and endeavourOS setup. Also, having a usblive is very convenient in case of problems.

If you don't have advanced knowledge nor want to customize it very thoroughly, I don't see any reason to use arch over endeavourOS. I mean, other than the fun of experimenting with the innards of linux, testing your frustration tolerance, and ending up being able to say "I use arch BTW".

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I feel exactly the same! I installed EndeavorOS because I liked the default theme lmao

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

There are some head scratching placements to me. I understand this is your opinion (which is the point of a tier list), but I don't understand why some of the placements are given. BTW I use EndeavourOS and feel like is the best distro ever and feel hurt by you personally. :D (just joking) How many of them did you actually use? I personally don't like your list, like most people you would hurt with it. I have a lot of to say (just woke up and saw this list, you triggered me immediately).

Note: I only used a few handful of distributions and don't know most of them by first hand.

The description for your Rankings are not unique to me. In example Mediocre, Bad and Completely Pointless seem to me all the same. And listing No Opinion at the end of a tier list makes no sense to me, because the reason for a tier list is an opinion.

  • CentOS, Amazing Ranking: I'm not sure if CentOS can be called amazing after all the betrayal to Open Source by Red Hat. Unless something changed here to the better. I don't have an opinion on the base itself, as I never used this.
  • EndeavourOS, Completely Pointless Ranking: I think this is an excellent distribution and handles Archlinux very well. Compared to Manjaro (which I used prior) it is still very much Arch itself. To me this at least, even if you don't like it, should be at least in Mediocre Ranking from you, which means there is not much reason to use over original Arch in your opinion.
  • Manjaro, Completely Pointless Ranking: I would put Manjaro besides Ubuntu, because I had my fair share of problems with Manjaro and their buggy tools and handling of the AUR. Also the developers or forum managers don't handle things well too. It's nowhere at the same level of EndevaourOS.
  • Fedora, Mediocre Ranking: I don't understand this. Why is it ranked as very few reasons to use over counterparts? What is the distribution one should use over Fedora? It's also leading edge, so there is a lot of reasons to use it.
  • Debian, Bad Ranking: Same reasons for Fedora, but in opposite direction. Why is a very stable and not changing much distribution bad to you? What would be the equivalent alternative to Debian, but a much better distro to you?

Have in mind, Debian and Fedora has a lot of spins too, but I think you mean the mainline versions only. But you listed all the variants for Ubuntu too, so a bit of inconsistent.

  • Pop!_OS, Zorin, Garuda, Completely Pointless Ranking: I really don't understand these placements by you by any stretch of imagination. They have lot of work involved, styling, defaults and features that they either save time by providing a working out of the box experience for a certain kind of user (like Garuda) in example. PopOS is also a better Ubuntu basically, as it is based on Ubuntu like Linux Mint is. Why is Linux Mint Good, but not many of the other distros that have a similar reason to exist like Mint? I don't get this.
  • Ubuntu, Maliciously Bad: I know all of the stuff here, you don't need to tell me. I used Ubuntu for 13 years exclusively. But it's not a bad distribution, it just does not what you want to do. I wouldn't call it Malicious. But okay, I give you a pass here, because of all the controversy, history and what they did. So it's understandable placement, but its not a bad distro in my opinion, just upsetting.
  • ElementaryOS, Deepin, Maliciously Bad: Can you explain to me what is malicious about these distributions?
[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

In your word, pointless.

This multiples my wish to die by 100x

<insert die-inside.gif here>

Edit: 100x

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's funny.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

if you really looked into Guix, it would proboably be at the top of this tierlist

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I think you should've stuck with the bottom tier.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This list isn't that well thought out.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Why is green bad and red good? Seems like the color choices are as odd as the opinions in the list.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I feel like this list was designed to purposefully piss everyone off.

Also, Debian is the basis for the majority of popular distros out there. "Bad", my ass.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Its not very good. Because my distro isn't on there

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

What is it ?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

CORRECTION: I meant to put elementary os at "Completely pointless" instead of "Maliciously bad"

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Oh good, the one change that entirely saves this list. /s

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.
