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.

    This is really great. I agree with pretty much everything on there and I figured I might want to try a artist distro at some point.

    I think your legend is supposed to say “with immutability”

    On a more philosophical level… This is great for a certain type of person but I worry about it also being scary for a Linux noob. I know out of my friend group, maybe 25% would appreciate seeing things in this format and thats because those are the engineers in the group.
