assuming that this is supposed to be for beginners it should just lead you through a rabbit hole of questions and then say that you should use mint

MehhhH... KDE is such a prettier DE than Cinnamon, and more beginner friendly in my opinion.

kde is very pretty and fun but there aren't really beginner focused kde distros, I myself started on kde neon but that's not really too polished and kubuntu is a bit meh

i had doubts about mint but i tried it out and it REALLY handholds you well imo

one thing kde does really well though is getting people interested in linux, because the customisation options are so exposed and user friendly

Unpopular opinion: throwing mint at beginners isn't a good thing

Question 1 should be "Are you a beginner?" Answering Yes makes the answer Mint regardless of other answers.

Edit: Answering No should allow other outcomes of course, but still allow Mint to be the result if it's a good fit.
