The Distrochooser helps you to find the suitable Linux distribution based on your needs!

Quite a few posts about selecting a distro to use. Maybe it’s time to make that link a little more prominent?

        “systemd question shouldn’t be there”

        skip it

        “too many options”

        I want to say “read it”, but IMO this is presentation, because pros and cons are clearly listed, but maybe it looks like a lot of text. Maybe people need some kind of visual like a podium and a drum roll. 🥁 “aaaand your top suggestions arreeee”…

        Also, people aren’t suggesting alternatives except: “make a bot that randomly picks a popular distro”. Is that really how we want to treat new users? “Please hold, in the meantime, here’s an automated response.” Do you follow advice given in automated responses when you’re holding on a line?

          The random choice isn’t really a joke. It doesn’t matter too much which distro you pick. Any distro of the big ones sill suit your needs.

          There will be cases where one or the other will not fulfill your needs out of the box

          The systemd question keeps the mantra alive that there is something wrong with systemd which isn’t. This has to die sooner rather than later.
