Putting Arch in top tier then Endeavour in Why is hilarious
typical arch user
this day and age, Arch is so common it should be in the “Typical” category …
To be fair, I would see why. Arch isn’t that hard to install anymore so some people see Arch-based distros that are just Arch with GUI installer as useless. I use EndeavourOS just because GUI installer is more convinient to me.
Endeavour is objectively better than plain Arch, this list is incredibly subjective.
Edit, according to the reply chain below:
My point applies when the desired result of an install is a day-to-day general-purpose OS on a modern (201X+) system. Where the savings of plain Arch versus Endeavour aren’t noticeable.
This looks like a bunch of BS
tier listing distros is such a Linux community thing to do. Wish we’d get past it.
Have you actually tried Manjaro or do you just listen to what other people say about it? I find it has no issues and have been daily driving it for like 3 years now. Just because something has negative hype doesn’t mean it’s as terrible as people say.
I personally don’t understand why anyone would put endeavour os in “why”
I’ve heard people say that because you can just install arch, which misses the point of endeavorOS
exactly - that’s like saying “it’s pointless to order omelette in a restaurant when you can just buy eggs at the store” - very insightful, thanks!
Also Garuda :(
This website has a good summary of the problems with manjaro https://manjarno.pages.dev/ . I’ve used it too and it’s usable from a user perspective, but it has so many underlying issues
I’m fully aware of the issues, but they’ve never impacted me personally and I’m not much of a distrohopper. If it ever borks my PC I’ll probably switch.
Based on that, it has been over 464 days since the last fuck-up. Sounds good to me.

Same here. Was first arch linunx distro I tried that “just worked”.
Not too in touch with consensus so when I saw people shitting on it, was a bit puzzled.
Oh good, astrology for Linux, just what we needed. 🙄
This can’t be taken seriously.
GuixSD in tier-3? It uses the same tech as NixOS - store-based hierarchy, and functional, transactional package manager. The only thing that’s different is the language - Guile Scheme is functional, acts as a convenient way for REPL as well as debugging the system, and eliminates additional scripting dependencies, while also being great for meta-programming. One language to rule them all. And yes, uses Shepherd instead of systemd. Want more GNU in your GNU/Linux? Guix is the thing. You can also probably boot using Hurd, but I’ve not tried that out.
I will not complain about the rest of them because I’ve not used them well enough. But I know that this tier-list is just bad. ClearLinux has a really good package manager - perhaps, the fastest of them all. And the rest of them are well, based on a root distro, and good for their specific use-case. Debian and Arch is also used for testing alternative non-Linux kernels. Alpine offers musl C instead of libc and Busybox instead of GNU coreutils+/-binutils.
NixOS has 80,000+ packages so realistically it’s much more usable
Thanks for doing the Guix rant I am too lazy to do. Also: does NixOS even have something like
--ad-hoc?
Tf does “modern” mean
Your meme belongs in the bottom two tiers.
You did ask for honest!
the fuck is modern, special, and typical
Look at this guy putting debian in typical
