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.

Only Linux Mint Debian Edition is built on Debian. Linux Mint (main) is built on Ubuntu.

    There's the Linux Mint main distro build off Ubuntu and a separate Linux Mint Debian distro build directly from Deb.

    Specificity is useful, especially in the context that you said "Mint is built on Debian so it's stable as fuck" - well actually, not directly. It's built on Ubuntu, which a lot of people complain has a more bloat and thus less stability than Debian.

    Personally I've not had issues with any of the three, they're all good, but there are differences. Mint includes a number of packages that Debian does not (PPAs, Snap, Wayland infegration), because it's inherited them all from Ubuntu. Mint is 64-bit whereas Debian supports 32/64 and other architectures, because again.. Mint (standard) is based on Ubuntu, which is 64-bit only.
