I would appreciate a few bullets for each distro option that identify what's included in that distro that isn't included in all other distros. For example, what does Ubuntu include that isn't in every other beginner-friendly distro? Same for Linux Mint? and each other beginner-friendly option. The bullets don't need to be complete. Just a few of the most useful features for many or most users. Similarly, what are 4-5 bullets that the Fedora distro includes (or doesn't include) that the beginner-friendly distros don't or do include? With such bullets, it will be much easier to get a feel for which distro is most suitable for my needs. Thanks for the opportunity to submit this suggestion.

Thanks for this excellent introductory article.

I would like to add that “some distributions choose to ship the latest software versions,” while others stick to thoroughly tested, stable and secure packages.

Keep up the good work!

“What is a Linux Command Line?”

It is a device pushed by tech writers to make Linux users feel “leet”. While Command Line may be used extensively by sysadmins and hobbyists, the average Linux user can go for years without using it. Windows has a Command Line Interface but somehow it is rarely talked about, much less recommended.

I would add PCLinuxOS to the list of “Beginner-Friendly Linux Distributions“.
