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.

Question: If I say, go with PopOS, does this mean it isn't optimal for development? Or can you get pretty much get anything to work provided there's kernel support, this chart is just a matter of working out of the box?

    The latter. Imo distros essentially are the choice of different package managers, software repositories and pre-installed software. PopOS will work perfectly for development, provided you install the tools you need. Debian/Ubuntu based distros like PopOs, have a fantastic software repository, out of the box.
