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.

    Is it just me or is the distinction between a rolling release distro and one that you have to upgrade on a regular basis important to other people as well? That’s kinda why I went from Mint to Endeavour. No regrets so far.

      Yes. I’d rather have small breakage every so often on small updates where it’s easy to tell what happened than large breakage on a release upgrade.
