The prime number theorem, π(x) ~ Li(x), and its error term: claims about the theorem itself, its proofs, equivalences or connections between zeta-zero locations and the size of π(x) − Li(x) (e.g. von Koch's bound, Littlewood's oscillations, Skewes' number), and refinements of the error term belong here; prime-distribution questions with no connection to the PNT's asymptotic or error term do not.
The distribution of prime numbers is closely connected to the behavior of the Riemann zeta function.

Riemann's explicit formula expresses the prime-counting function as a sum over the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function.

The error term in the prime number theorem is O(x^θ log x) for every θ above the supremum of the real parts of the zeta zeros, and not O(x^θ) below it.
