Oh no!!
Exactly. Too much choice can lead to analysis paralysis. I've been telling everyone who brings up Windows 10's expiration date that now is a good to install Linux Mint as a good beginner place to start.

I'd never heard of it so I tried it out, it seemed fine until the end where it listed about ten different distros with no real way to differentiate them.
Like, yeah, mint and Ubuntu and elementary and zorin and xubuntu all work for my use cases. I wanted it to give me a reason why one is better than another.
So, yeah, can't recommend that website. It's trying to help, but it won't, really.
