I agree with list. I set my 98 year old grandma up on Kali as her first ever computer a month ago, and she's already hacked into the Department of Energy.
What exactly is the problem with Manjaro? I ended up trying it, but my switch to Linux from Windows 11 has been hampered by Battlefield 6 and a few other games. Did I make the wrong choice for Linux distro?
Did everyone misinterpret my post? 💀
I’m a Manjaro user myself and I know this tierlist is sarcastic but Manjaro being S tier implies that it’s actually bad which I disagree with :D
Manjaro was my first choice of distro as well. In my opinion it's not technically bad but they do so much stuff under the hood it can have its moments. And anything you want outside of their repos (on AUR) for example makes it so they don't want to support you anymore as they don't support the AUR.
I can't remember why I switched off it now but I ended up on EndeavourOS and have had a much better experience
I loved how, as a beginner, Gentoo used to update all of my packages during the day, while I was working, using my 16 cores 100%. That's what I call high-level multitasking.
I've said it before, but NixOS technically isn't bad for beginners (assuming they'll never operate another Linux distro - but let's be honest, after you learn Nix, why would you?).
Unlike other distros, you can't break Nix. You never need to reinstall. Sure, the advice you find online pertaining to FHS will confuse you, and you'll wonder why the fuck anyone would ever need to set up a "snapshot", but it won't matter.
You'll spend your days showing your friends and family your girthy flake, you'll tell them how you use home manager to create a shell script INSIDE your home.nix module so it's declarative - they wont understand, but happy that at least you're over your catboy phase.
A chameleon makes no sense. Suse is S, as a humorous reference to its name, which is like 50% S. Similarly, mint is a minty M and fedora is a literal fedora.

Pop!_OS rises above C due to fancy window tiling but falls short of A because it has a stupid exclamation mark and unnecessary underscore in its name?

Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.
What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

snaps are awesome 🔥 W ubuntu

Yeah, I belatedly realised that.
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 198d
Other than Manjaro in S tier, I think the biggest giveaway for me was Nix, Gentoo, and Kali in "Good for Beginners"
Also: Debian, Arch, and Fedora in F tier? Those are some of the most common ones for serious linux users to settle on...

Is there a UwUntu- or Nyarch-like NixOS fork to smoothen or eliminate the transition from catboy?
Zozano@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 198d
You can technically use Nix on another distro, does that count?
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org · 2 pts · 198d
I don't know, I'm asking for a friend
And yes, Nyarch's customizations (like catgirl-downloader) are available as a script, this is probably preferrable than nixifying another distro

Putting Pop in B tier has such a chaotic energy, I can't help but respect that. It works on so many levels.
MasterOKhan@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 199d
One nuance, NixOS is only beginner friendly when you use flakes
JustJack23@slrpnk.net · 17 pts · 199d
And when you are not a beginner
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 198d
Serious question, why aren't flakes enabled by default
mech@feddit.org · 12 pts · 199d
Slackware on S Tier.
Yep, this list is truth.

Suse is a gecko. Or are you being facetious?
rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 198d
A chameleon makes no sense. Suse is S, as a humorous reference to its name, which is like 50% S. Similarly, mint is a minty M and fedora is a literal fedora.
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 198d
Aha! You said chameleon, meaning you know that's correct. Because I said gecko, which is wrong and you corrected me.
Manjaro also has an M, there's different ways to stylize the same letter. And the one in OP's S tier is Slackware
I think you're being facetious though, and I'm biting the onion...
