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.


GuixSD wasn’t an option on Tiermaker, but I have used it. I personally found it hardier than NixOS, but the libre-only package selection was quite restrictive and the lack of the non-free
iwlwifidriver prevented me from installing it on any of my boxes other than my 2007 MacBook. I know this is the point, but it’s still annoying.Like 9front and Haiku, I hope to daily-drive it someday; but at the moment it is sadly quite unsuitable for my hardware, workflow, and use-case.
