Ranking Linux Distributions for 2024: a tier list for my use case !

Can you not just post what the use-case is and the list? I'm not going to watch an unsolicited 20 minute video.

The video is him reading the list really slowly, and the opinions are not much imo

My unrealistic wish for 2024 is for people to stop judging distributions by the wallpaper and the shell extensions alone. Not to mention that the distributions, that have been genuinely been innovative, aren't even mentioned anywhere

I tried zoplooie Linux, but I didn't like the orange titlebars, so I had to uninstall it.

I’m sad that tumbleweed wasn’t placed as „great“, what exactly is the reasoning behind that?

The ranking is based on his use case. He does media production and uses tuxedo laptops. My guess is, he just took a different path and never got deeper into Suse.

I fear so as well.. But he should, in my opinion 😂 OpenSuse TW is awesome

I use F Prime because my use case is that I’m the Perseverance Rover and the only computer they gave me is this toy helicopter. It’s fine. Nothing flashy but it’s stable and runs on Arm processors.

I was going to applaud you explicitly saying it was for your use case, then I noticed the description is a bunch of merch shilling.

Well, I mean, he has to buy food and stuff

A guy trying to run a single-person business promoting and talking about Linux/FOSS puts merch in his description and that's something you find really objectionable?

I mean, I get it, in an ideal world it wouldn't be there, but the guy needs to eat. He needs a roof over his head. Etc. I'm guessing you have a job that you're also paid for, or if you don't, you're provided for by people who do?

We don't live in a star trek world with free housing, and where all our basic needs are provided by replicators. He needs money or he will die.

Nobody's forcing you to click the links and buy shit.

E: I literally had to click "show more" in the description to get to his merch, and he never even mentions it on the channel. Idk guy I think you're being unreasonable. It's not pushed onto you at all.

Looking in Lemmy the advertisements are the very first thing I see, and all I see. Im not against a guy feeding himself, but you can't hold it against me if I don't click on something because I am bombarded with a literal wall of advertisements without anything else.

It's never really clear from this video what exactly is his use case though.

he mentions DaVinci Resolve as the big reason he can't rate/use Asahi

Fedora, then Debian and then the rest? 😏

Debian was placed at average, he told „the Desktop is outdated“ I believe.

That's hilarious. Lazy and hilarious!

I mean... It's true though. He explained he usually used newer hardware and he doesn't want ancient packages, but goes on to say it's not as bad as it used to be because you can at least have up-to-date apps by using flatpaks.

It's a completely reasonable take. Not everybody wants packages/DEs on their system that are often *years* behind.

IIRC, Debian only just progressed beyond Gnome 3.38, Plasma 5.20, kernel 5.10, etc. that is old AF.
