    I can’t believe I’m saying that, but I find myself kinda agreeing with a distro tier list for once.

    Arch, Gentoo, and NixOS are “Elite” because of the leet hackerman stereotype.

    Fedora and Tumbleweed are modern (Fedora with adopting the latest tech, and TW by being a stable and reliable rolling release)

    While I pretty much agree with the “Special” Tier, I feel it’s important to mention the first one (don’t know the name, it was made by Intel and was vsry unique with its own package manager and fully embracing everything systemd has to offer) is a dead project now. Void, Alpine, TAILS and Guix, I agree with. I disagree about Nobara as it’s basically Fedora with some gaming tweaks and a customised GNOME (correct me if I’m wrong).

    Typical is not necessarily bad. It means those distros are popular and commonly run, and there is usually a reason why.

    For the “Why” section, I agree that they are distros I wouldn’t recommend to anyone, but ultimately everyone has the right to run whatever they want. You might think there’s a better option to one of them, so feel free to present it, but remember users have the right to disagree and use whatever they want.

    For tge terrible section: I don’t know enough about Zorin or LinuxFX to comment. Kali is terrible as a regular OS but is great at what it’s built to do (pen testing). I agree on Manjaro.
