Joke’s on you, I have a Surface! Is it a laptop? Is it a tablet? It’s the Dr. Pepper of computing devices!

But seriously, is there a small bit that can be made for tablets and those slightly-more-than-a-tablets?

This is really great. I agree with pretty much everything on there and I figured I might want to try a artist distro at some point.

I think your legend is supposed to say "with immutability"

On a more philosophical level... This is great for a certain type of person but I worry about it also being scary for a Linux noob. I know out of my friend group, maybe 25% would appreciate seeing things in this format and thats because those are the engineers in the group.

Nice chart.

I'm new to Linux (April or May of this year) and most of my experience is Android. I picked Fedora Workstation because of Privacy Guides recommending it for noobs. Using a T470s ThinkPad.

Excellent work.

I had already had an idea of what distro I will be shifting to but this reenforced that choice. A good sanity check.

Godsend, swapping my main laptop now.

Nice chart!

If I could offer an addendum, CachyOS and PikaOS should be included in the gaming distros for non-new users. I love Bazzite, but CachyOS gives people a very good Arch option, and PikaOS gives people a nice Debian (not Ubuntu) option that's about up to feature parity with CachyOS.

Things I do want to point out if you intend to make this as new user friendly as possible:

1. The bottom section doesn't quite makes sense to include as it contradicts the purpose of this diagram. Similar reasoning for color coding and immutability tag; it makes sense to the experienced Linux users, not much for others.
2. I can understand that the diamonds connected with a simple line are of equal standing, but it looks like steps. Users would also question which they should choose amongst them (or question why they exist if they seemingly serve the same purpose).

Desktop Linux

Is there one for laptop Linux?

macOS

What about mac hardware?
