Which Linux Distro Should YOU Use? (2026 Tier List)

Many Linux tier lists rank distros best to worst, but that makes things difficult when Qubes is great for security and not great for beginners. In this 2026 tier list, I'm ranking distros by where they fit in YOUR Linux journey: first distro, level up, or advanced/specialized. Enjoy the ranking and hope you learn something too along the way! Thanks to @ChrisTitusTech for maintaining the list and making this so accessible to everyone!
