You should update that. Ubuntu belongs in S tier after introducing Snaps.

Where TempleOS?
It went to heaven
Whatβs the red Naruto swirl one?
It's a spinoff of Ubuntu called Debian
/s
I heard they replaced snaps with their own package format.
It's a bit shifty though, the packages are all over the place and you need to actually look for and vet package vendors instead of just trusting one for-profit company to handle it all and not enshittify.

Not sure if trolling or genuinely curious, but it's Debian.

No UwUntu, 0/10
I get what Canonical was going for with snaps but wow did they ever ruin Ubuntu's reputation. It used to be the clear choice for anyone who wanted a generic Linux where you don't have to configure everything yourself. Sure some people didn't like Unity but the core distro still worked well and was stable. With snaps, package management has become more complex than other distros while decreasing performance if memory limited (and who isn't nowadays). The number of times I've had something not work in the "stable" snap package is far too many, and it's pretty much always fixed by installing the same package with apt.
I get the reasoning for sandboxing applications, but they needed to wait until it was more stable to make the default. At this rate I doubt we're ever going to get a truly mainstream desktop Linux distro rivaling macos and Windows...
In my opinion, Linux Mint has filled this gap. If anyone asks its a good recommendation to ensure they don't have to jump through hoops to get a stable system out of the gate. Essentially the stability of debian and usability of Ubuntu without snap

OP forgot to put the legends: S - Sucks Ass A - Ass B - Barely C - Ckinda mid D - Dope F - For Real For Real
I give this tier list an S for not including the only distro that deserves its own tier below F:
From shit to fantastic.
