I labeled some of the lesser known logos. The criteria are arbitrary and I made this based on how much I liked using it.

Note that Fedora Sway Atomic isn’t bad, but I had a bad experience because I was trying to install NIri on it and it clearly wasn’t meant for that. Basically, it’s just not for me.

I wanted to rank Manjaro low because I heard bad things about it, but I think I used it for like a few minutes because I wanted to try Gnome, and I didn’t like Gnome after trying it and didn’t want to deal with uninstalling all the Gnome stuff manually, so I just hopped to another distro.

      I “tried” installing gentoo once but i didn’t know what a tarball was at the time so i can’t really rate it. the documentation did help me a lot with OpenRC on artix though.

      i did hear nixOS is also source-based in a way, but i’m not sure on the details.

        Worth revisiting now. :)

        You want the USE flags. *enticing gesturing*

        Yes, NixOS and GNU Guix are both technically source-based, but they pull from a binary cache server by default to prevent it from building everything. You could disable it, but i don’t really see the point since as far as i’m aware, nix and guix don’t have the use flags stuff like Gentoo has.
