Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution
(lemmy.nz)
When I first began researching Linux, for my needs, I found the number of different Distros to be overwhelming. So I made this flow chart, with the intent to help new users find a starting point for choosing a distribution.
I'm open to critique, as to making this chart as helpful as possible.
EDIT: Chart updated based on suggestions in the comments.
Ubuntu is great. Lots of guides for things, great community support, and things usually just work. Plenty easy enough to do what you want to do without having to learn a bunch of stuff all the time.
I think this is why it is not the preferred choice for experts who want to configure everything themselves, or have strong opinions about the internals of how it works.
But I basically want to never have to think about the os if I don't have to.
