The introduction by the creator:
It’s in https://distro.fedesito.me/ , It’s a Pokedle inspired game, in which you try to choose the Linux distro based on it’s characteristics/features.
If you want to add features/distros feel free to do a pull request, the project is opensource at my ShitHub (link in website).
EDIT: fixed some bugs and added instructions

Y’know what would be neat? A web app that recommends you a linux distro based on your specific needs/preferences
Edit: oh dang someone did it already https://distrochooser.de/
Hmm… my distro was the second one recommended to me. First was OpenSUSE. I have yet to try that one, but have tested most of the others it recommended. Guess I need to pop OpenSUSE on my Ventoy stick!
^ yus.
And fiddling with the dials on https://distrowatch.com/search.php can help too (e.g. selecting beginners from distribution category drop-down menu).
distrochooser.de & distrowatch.com/search.php, powerful combo to help find the right distro for you.
Finally I can apply my extensive knowledge from distro hopping for the last 3 decades 💪

Why? How the hell does this make sense?
Was kinda fun but a lot of fields don’t make sense for a lot of distros.

I have seen some fields that are weird but I don’t see a problem with the android one? Well I guess calling it rolling isn’t quite right but otherwise it’s pretty accurate

Wahhh, sorry. Jeroba timed out while making the post, and I know sometimes when it does that it posts anyway so I normally check…and I did this time as well, but it didn’t show up so I figured it had actually failed…and it hadn’t…ughhhh.
I also use jerboa, can understand
Difficulty isn’t intermediate. Not rolling. It’s also not just arm and x86
I thought they had dropped most of the other ISAs, have they not? historically it wasn’t just those 2 though
Did they? Might be my bad then
Went and looked it up, Android officially supports Armv7, Armv8, x86, amd64, and riscv64, so it’s missing riscv but otherwise mostly correct
That’s a fun idea. Unfortunately I’m too much of a noob to play 😅
