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.

    The intent’s great, but I agree with the sentiment that if a beginner has to ask which distro is good for them, that questionnaire only cause them more trouble through choice paralysis.

    I answered it in the mindset I had when I was just first installing my first Linux daily-driver, and I‌ got a lot of results, with Linux Mint, Zorin OS and Elementary OS being the top three. Haven’t really gone through the distro-hopping phase (nor do I think I’d have the patience to), but I’m intrigued with the other two. It also says something about me who uses Arch, btw, but “gravitating” towards Ubuntu-based distros (or at least, that’s what the results seems to be telling me).
