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

    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.

      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…

    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.

    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.

      Eh. Not quite. Yes, the main editions use Ubuntu as a starting point, but they remove a load of Canonical’s cruft, like Snaps. They have their own suite of applications, the XApps, that are forks of other tools, as well as a number of other improvements and changes.

      I couldn’t say whether it’s as far from Ubuntu as Ubuntu is from the original Debian, but it’s some distance removed for sure.

      And LMDE is based on Debian, skipping Ubuntu entirely.

    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.

      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”.
