    You should update that. Ubuntu belongs in S tier after introducing Snaps.

    [–] Routhinator@startrek.website 0 points 11 hours ago

    Snaps should put them in F tier.

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl -2 points 15 hours ago

    nah its Z tier fr

    [–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

    I give this tier list an S for not including the only distro that deserves its own tier below F:

    [–] saturn57@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

    Heresy! AmogOS should be S+ tier.

    The list is correct, they're just using little-endian.

    I get what Canonical was going for with snaps but wow did they ever ruin Ubuntu's reputation. It used to be the clear choice for anyone who wanted a generic Linux where you don't have to configure everything yourself. Sure some people didn't like Unity but the core distro still worked well and was stable. With snaps, package management has become more complex than other distros while decreasing performance if memory limited (and who isn't nowadays). The number of times I've had something not work in the "stable" snap package is far too many, and it's pretty much always fixed by installing the same package with apt.

    I get the reasoning for sandboxing applications, but they needed to wait until it was more stable to make the default. At this rate I doubt we're ever going to get a truly mainstream desktop Linux distro rivaling macos and Windows...

    Good new is that there are many different options outside of snap and Ubuntu

    [–] KevinNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    In my opinion, Linux Mint has filled this gap. If anyone asks its a good recommendation to ensure they don't have to jump through hoops to get a stable system out of the gate. Essentially the stability of debian and usability of Ubuntu without snap

    It's an automatic downvote for not including NixOS, despite having other niche distributions on the list (what even is the one at C tier?). Also, Windows? That is not even closely related to the Unix family of operating systems, let alone a Linux distribution.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

    I'd put Nix in the L tier since it males me think of linguine

    [–] SyntaxError@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

    There is Windows Subsystem for Linux.

    Mint is D for Delicious πŸ˜‹

    OP forgot to put the legends: S - Sucks Ass A - Ass B - Barely C - Ckinda mid D - Dope F - For Real For Real
