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/

^ 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.

{ "id": "android", "name": "Android", "paid": false, "initSystem": "init", "releaseType": "Rolling", "parentDistro": "Independent", "packageManager": "pm", "difficulty": "Intermediate", "yearReleased": 2008, "desktopEnvironment": "Mobile UI", "architecture": "ARM, x86", "category": "Mobile", "popularity": "Very High", "discontinued": "No" }

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

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Did they? Might be my bad then
