I didn’t understand what ‘S tier’ meant, so I didn’t want to assume you liked it, but I actually use Ubuntu as my standard font. Looking for a new one, though, just to change things up.
There’s been something of a fad in the last few years of organizing things into tier lists. As far as I can tell it comes from the gaming community, ranking player characters or items or weapons or whatever. The tiers follow the letter grading scale I think most of the English speaking world will have some understanding of; A through F without E with F being a failing grade. Apparently because Japan, an S tier for Superior is added above A.
A fun implementation of this is TierZoo. One of those Youtubers who is also on Nebula, his whole gimmick is he does educational videos (and lifeforms in general) in a very video game discussion style. As if he’s a veteran player of an MMORPG called “Outside” in which every organism is a player character. If you want to get a good grip on the tier list phenomenon he provides many examples.
I also mentioned Ubuntu.

So, tier lists.

Cool, thanks! So, when you said Ubuntu was S tier, you meant you loved it, and that you would happily use it forever.
It wasn’t me that said that, I just explained the saying.
Oh… sorry. Thanks!
