From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The ordering is arbitrary, I did not think about the order as I tried to simply list things people may wish to consider when choosing.
I do not think I will be making a blogpost about advanced distros, I feel like people who want to use distributions like that (myself included) have the knowledge to decide themselves and there would be too many factors to consider.
I think you'd be surprised how many people still want to read about others' experiences with non-beginner distros and which ones present challenges or features that they're looking for while choosing a distro.
