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.

Disagree. I think it's fine; most people looking at Linux know what their GPU is.

If OP wants to address your concern they should just put a banner at top saying "UNSURE WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS? >> LINUX MINT"

    There are going to be plenty of potential windows expats. Do you in all honesty think this is going to be helpful to them? There's a reason I didn't guve my mom a chart like this and just did it for her.

    Per GPU. Yes people know whaf a gpu is, but again you are putting a lot of faith in the average person to navigate all of that information.

    This is 100% information overload for anyone who wouldn't seek it themselves.
