    Putting Arch in top tier then Endeavour in Why is hilarious

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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.

      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?

    Your meme belongs in the bottom two tiers.
