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.

In all honesty i don’t get it the E for endravourOS on my old ass laptop everything works just fine, even the nvidia card
I was getting really mad, the I realized what you did there.
Wait, where’s Gentoo?
the dark and forbidden G tier
I use fedora workstation but it’s so boring because it just does what I need and I never have any problems 🥲
I might give Debian a spin at some point
I wish it wasn’t built on Wayland.
What’s wrong with Wayland? Havnt noticed any problems
I use Anydesk for work and Rustdesk for personal and the lag is so bad. Also added the hot keys and super button doesn’t transfer to the remote computer.

Uhhh, I, uhhh
I use Arch by the way :3
Sorry I couldn’t help it. Technically I started this install as Antegos, but since that project ended I used some voodoo to convince my OS that it’s Arch now with moderate succes.
no hannah montana linux??
I enjoy linux mint a lot
I put LM on my n100 HTPC and hasn’t done a thing more besides updates. It just works…
Very nice. I would rank down debian because it has weird defaults like not having /sbin in the user PATH but other than that I agree
Void and NixOS in S tier is based, my two favorite distros. Because of me using void though i kinda miss using Runit when i want to use a declaritive system like nix. I’m working on a gnu guix config in a vm now to see if i can use that as an alternative instead. It’s not runit per se, but who knows, maybe i’ll still like shepherd better than systemd.
Why is OpenSUSE at the bottom? I’d heard good things about it. EndeavourOS is my current OS but I’m always looking for a new distro.
Here’s mine:
- Note 1: This tierlist only includes distros I’ve tried.
- Note 2: Slackware would rank higher now; I made this about month ago.
- Note 3: The “noob” tier doesn’t mean the distro is bad. If it weren’t there, Mint would rank higher.
Damn, you’ve tried a lot of different distros. I’ve been using Linux for 15 years but only been on like 8 different ones. Installed personally about 5.
Gentoo is good only if you got a powerful computer.
I used to run it on my Raspberry Pi 5 without complaint.
Some stuff did take a while to compile, but the trick is to do other things — like make some tea, go for a walk, or watch TV — instead of staring at the terminal the whole time (I am 100% serious; this is not sarcasm).
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.
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.
If you can handle nix why bother with other distros
I switched from Arch to Fedora recently and so far I like it. Faster than any distro I’ve ever run on this laptop.
