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.

Tierlist of Linux distros. S Tier has: Void Linux, Nix OS, Debian and Artix Linux. A Tier has: Arco Linux (RIP) and Arch Linux. B Tier has Linux Mint. C Tier has: Aurora Linux and KDE Neon. D Tier has Fedora Sway Atomic. F Tier is empty. There is an unranked tier at the bottom, with distros unranked due to not enough usage, these are Manjaro Linux, OpenSuse and standard Fedora Linux.

If you can handle nix why bother with other distros

    I can handle it but I wanted a more traditional package manager so I could search the repos from the command line without relying on external tools, so I went back to Void Linux after a year and a half of using NixOS. Also, I tried a lot of those before even knowing about NixOS.

    I mean like apt search or pacman -Ss

    NixOS also doesn't show what packages were updated after an update, and doesn't show which version they changed to, which is slightly annoying.

    I can recommend nh. Its a wrapper around the nix* commands and includes nh search, giving you a list of packages (not sure about nixos module options, I think not). It also uses nix-output-monitor giving you a nice dependency graph when building (plus downloads etc) as well as a diff between the current and new generation, with version changes, added, removed etc.
