    I've said it before, but NixOS technically isn't bad for beginners (assuming they'll never operate another Linux distro - but let's be honest, after you learn Nix, why would you?).

    Unlike other distros, you can't break Nix. You never need to reinstall. Sure, the advice you find online pertaining to FHS will confuse you, and you'll wonder why the fuck anyone would ever need to set up a "snapshot", but it won't matter.

    You'll spend your days showing your friends and family your girthy flake, you'll tell them how you use home manager to create a shell script INSIDE your home.nix module so it's declarative - they wont understand, but happy that at least you're over your catboy phase.

    you're over your catboy phase

    Is there a UwUntu- or Nyarch-like NixOS fork to smoothen or eliminate the transition from catboy?

    [–] Zozano@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    You can technically use Nix on another distro, does that count?

    I don't know, I'm asking for a friend

    And yes, Nyarch's customizations (like catgirl-downloader) are available as a script, this is probably preferrable than nixifying another distro

    The fact that people downvote this taking it seriously….

    Istg some of these symbols have to be made up, there can’t be that many distros with blue circle + white emblem as logo

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 8 points 6 days ago

    its awesome that like 99% of tech logos are mainly blue. it totally doesnt drive me insane :3 πŸ‘

    Everyone hates Bazzite? Can't rank good even in a shitpost?

    Arch belongs in good for beginners. It has an entire site dedicated to its manual

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I agree with list. I set my 98 year old grandma up on Kali as her first ever computer a month ago, and she's already hacked into the Department of Energy.

    OP is inciting violence

    [–] mastod0n@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Today OP woke up and chose violence

    [–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

    If they truly wanted violence, they would have put one of the good ones in the S category

    [–] massacre@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

    I, for one, am triggered.

    [–] Redacted@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Pop!_OS rises above C due to fancy window tiling but falls short of A because it has a stupid exclamation mark and unnecessary underscore in its name?

    [–] bizzle@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    It feels like they want to be Panic! At the Disco

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

    Pop! at the OS

    [–] Linearity@piefed.zip 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Okay since this is ragebait and Manjaro is on the top tier fuck you πŸ₯€

    [–] Narauko@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

    What exactly is the problem with Manjaro? I ended up trying it, but my switch to Linux from Windows 11 has been hampered by Battlefield 6 and a few other games. Did I make the wrong choice for Linux distro?

    [–] Linearity@piefed.zip 1 points 6 days ago

    Did everyone misinterpret my post? πŸ’€
    I’m a Manjaro user myself and I know this tierlist is sarcastic but Manjaro being S tier implies that it’s actually bad which I disagree with :D

    [–] Kangy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

    Manjaro was my first choice of distro as well. In my opinion it's not technically bad but they do so much stuff under the hood it can have its moments. And anything you want outside of their repos (on AUR) for example makes it so they don't want to support you anymore as they don't support the AUR.

    I can't remember why I switched off it now but I ended up on EndeavourOS and have had a much better experience

    I loved how, as a beginner, Gentoo used to update all of my packages during the day, while I was working, using my 16 cores 100%. That's what I call high-level multitasking.

    Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.

    What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    snaps are awesome πŸ”₯ W ubuntu
