For meā€¦ a ranking is far less clear other than the few that havenā€™t worked out well, reallyā€¦ but ok.

In Sort Of, Probably Order:

  1. EndeavourOS / SwagArch (sharing spot 1)
  2. ā€œpureā€ Arch
  3. Manjaro / Fedora / OpenSuse Tumbleweed (sharing spot 3)
  4. Pop! OS
  5. MX Linux
  6. OpenSuse Leap
  7. (Any)buntu

Thatā€™s my top 10, at least atm.

Then there are things like Mandriva, which is the only distro I could not get to boot on my computer. Seriously, it would not function, and Siduction, which is cool until it breaks, and it will break, because it is running on Debian Sid built as a ā€œtrue rollingā€ distro.

I have never used Mandriva either. Although not easy, I will try to set up my distribution usage order as well.

  1. EndeavourOS
  2. Linux Mint
  3. MX Linux
  4. Manjaro
  5. Kubuntu
  6. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
  7. Debian
  8. Debian Sid
  9. Ubuntu
  10. Fedora

Iā€™ve tested a lot, liked only a few, used only a handful as daily riders. These are in chronological order:

  1. Manjaro Mate
  2. Namib GNU/Linux Mate
  3. Archman Mate
  4. EOS Mate
  5. Manjaro Mate
  6. Manjaro Cinnamon

Yes, Iā€™m boring. :sleeping:

  1. EndeavourOS - fastest experience, no bloatware.
  2. Archcraft - comes with preconfigured WMs, helped me a lot with learning about configuring WM. Would prefer a cleaner install.
  3. Pop OS - easy install, easy of use, no need to configure basically anything. Love run with dedicated graphics right click option.
  4. Solus - tried because of budgie, nice and fast experience. But package manager and budgie are not my cup of tea.
  5. Elementary OS - Fast, reliable. Pantheon, my personal opinion, looks outdated. Almost no customization options. Strange problems with drivers, took too much time to solve.
  6. Ubuntu - almost everything worked out of box, bloated, not that fast.
  7. Manjaro - buggiest experience i ever had on any distro. Especially while using KDE. When using it i feel like everything will fall apart at any moment.
  8. Fedora - while loving it for clean experience it was by far a most non responsive distro with stuttering at every corner, probably has to do more with GNOME itself than Fedora.

Didnā€™t we just have this thread? I feel like these ranking things have been coming up a lot recently. . .

Iā€™ve tried probably 30+ distros. Itā€™s simple.

  1. Arch
  2. Endeavour
    3-30. Everything else which is why I donā€™t use them daily.

Special Mentions for Linux Mint and Solus.

  1. EndeavourOS - the only distro where KDE and everything works perfectly (even in old hardware) because it is fast.
  2. Manjaro - the only Arch-based distro where my printer works, KDE laggy though
  3. Ubuntu - cool but I donā€™t like snaps, I prefer flatpaks
  4. Fedora - as much as I like this, wayland glitches, canā€™t stand the flickering screen
  5. KDE Neon - compositor suddenly stops working, idk why
11

It almost makes me wonder if they are requesting ā€˜rankā€™ distros - that really stink.

Guess I need sleep!

I can rank them chronologically:

OpenSuse>Ubuntu>Kubuntu>Etc Ubuntus flavors> Debian > Linux Mint > Etc Ubuntus> OpenSuse> Fedora> back to Ubuntus> kde Neon?> back to Debian > ah discovered arch > Antergos > Ubuntus > Debian > Manjaro > EOS!

:grin: the general trend was debian based >> arch based distros with interim fedora/suse.

  2. Pop!_OS
  3. Solus
