Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution
(lemmy.ca)
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.
nix, I understand. But gentoo is superb for learning and those looking to learn. Wait were you just trying to entice people with the 'don't eat of the forbidden fruit' stuff? I really don't even know what the last line means though--surely there was a typo
There is no typo. I'm not telling not to use them, I'm telling not to recommend them. Especially on a chart that mostly targets beginners. The audience that wants to learn the ways of Linux to such an extent will find LFS eventually. Having distros that solve clearly non-beginner problems in a chart like this is harmful in my opinion.
