PSA: When people ask you "What distro should I use?", try pointing them here - eviltoast

I found this site a while back - basically it will ask you a bunch of questions on your usage of your PC, and will came out with a list of recommended distros, and a list of reasons why YOU could like or not like it.

There are some similar sites to this one, but since I’m not familiar with them, I won’t post them. They are simply DuckDuckGo-able though.

    There are way too many answers after you finish this quiz. You should recommend, at most, three options after the quiz. This doesn’t help narrow down your options much at all.

      I think the idea is to rank them from most to least suitable based on your answers, not narrow down. Just pick the “top 3” if you want a smaller sample.

      Edit: this is not well documented, but it seems to be the case: the results are sorted based on the number of “reasons” to pick it according to your answers.

        Yeah. If they want to keep the structure as is, they should score the results to make the compatibility levels more obvious
