Which Linux distro is for you?

I found this kind of neat quiz here that, as others have commented, is kind of like those "Which Harry Potter Character Are you?", but actually make up a kind of software called "Decision Support Systems".

Essentially, it asks you a number of questions about your computer experience and Linux knowledge, and suggests a few different distros that match your needs. Of course, this obviously hints to the fact that someone is making judgements about which distros are considered "difficult", or "require Linux knowledge more than others", but obviously some are not subjective, such as free vs. commercial software, and GUI vs. command-line.

I got OpenSUSE, Linux Mint, Ubuntu and Kubuntu suggested to me.

:lol: :lol: That would be funny.

That is odd, though. I definitely got a few, but nowhere near 10. Just those ones I listed in the OP.

Open Suse, Fedora and that unknown (to me) distribution Mandriva. Guess what, I use Cent OS or Scientific Linux...
