      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.

    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.

      tier listing distros is such a Linux community thing to do. Wish we’d get past it.

    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.

    I don’t really care, for me “linux” is a kernel, a bunch of gnu utilities, and I take Xfce as desktop. I can use firefox? an editor? cmake? gcc? I’m in business.

    All distros are the same. The main diff is apt/yum/pacman/etc. to distribute packages.
