I grew tired of shitty “Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” articles so I wrote a blogpost, that I would personally consider helpful when I was starting out, so I can simply link it to people when they ask my opinion on a beginner distro.
Objective criticism is welcome and encouraged.
The ordering is arbitrary, I did not think about the order as I tried to simply list things people may wish to consider when choosing.
I do not think I will be making a blogpost about advanced distros, I feel like people who want to use distributions like that (myself included) have the knowledge to decide themselves and there would be too many factors to consider.
