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.

AMD has released official Linux drivers, while Nvidia has not. So I believe they were reverse engineered or some shit, so some users have reported issues and/or instability.

The reverse engineered drivers often struggle with the more recent cards and they lack features and performance. But Nvidia has official drivers as well. I've used them on workstations, my old computer and for Artificial Intelligence stuff. It's just that they're proprietary and always come with some small annoyances while AMD has good open source drivers in the Linux kernel.
