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.

    That flow chart is overwhelming.

    How about, just use what you want? If it doesn’t work the way you like, try something else. Nvidia works fine on pretty much any distro, find a PPA or repo or something and it’s largely OK.

    How about:

    • new to Linux? Mint or Fedora - pick the flavor that looks cool to you
    • not new? You know what you like, use that.
