I labeled some of the lesser known logos. The criteria are arbitrary and I made this based on how much I liked using it.

Note that Fedora Sway Atomic isn't bad, but I had a bad experience because I was trying to install NIri on it and it clearly wasn't meant for that. Basically, it's just not for me.

I wanted to rank Manjaro low because I heard bad things about it, but I think I used it for like a few minutes because I wanted to try Gnome, and I didn't like Gnome after trying it and didn't want to deal with uninstalling all the Gnome stuff manually, so I just hopped to another distro.

Gentoo is good only if you got a powerful computer.

I used to run it on my Raspberry Pi 5 without complaint.

Some stuff did take a while to compile, but the trick is to do other things β€” like make some tea, go for a walk, or watch TV β€” instead of staring at the terminal the whole time (I am 100% serious; this is not sarcasm).

Official binhost exists now.

I used gentoo on not-powerful-computer, because it was not a powerful computer. Did not care about the compile times. Cared about the performance when I was using it. Even did a ```USE="-*" setup once or twice, to keep it even more lean on resources, and more focused to meet needs and no more unecessary fluff and bloat than that.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
