my 100% legit distro tier list
(lemmy.nz)
Nice
I agree
Why is the best in red and worst in green? I never understood this rating scheme's color choices.
It's because the meme format comes from Japan. Red is a lucky color, and S is the highest grade you can get there. It's similar to how they associate white with funerals, so brides wear red for luck instead.
That's an awesome TIL! Thank you!
idk, im used to it now. but when tierlists first got popular i thought S was the worst
It’s not suppose to be. Typically S Tier would be considered the highest ranking, the colours are certainly throwing it off.

F-tier to pay respect
smh Bazzite doesn't even get on the list
I see you are not serious about the list. If you were you'd have red star Linux and justin Bieber Linux up there with Hannah Montana Linux and amogOS
I give this tier list an S for not including the only distro that deserves its own tier below F:
Heresy! AmogOS should be S+ tier.
Is today opposite day?
