That is the quirk of being splintered in so many different distros, and all the users recommending a different one.

It is by far the biggest reason why Linux hasn't gone mainstream.

New users are having to deep dive into all the different possibilities just to find the one that does what they want, before they can even start the process of installation.

Compare that to Windows: just install the latest one

Or Mac: you are forced to use the latest one.
