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.

It could certainly be simplified.

New to Linux > No > Do you value your mental health and sanity > No > Arch.

    New to Linux > No > Do you value your mental health and sanity > No > Arch Debian.

    In fairness to me, I mostly run old hardware and don't give a shit about anything flashy. Arch is my 2nd favorite for desktop use though.
