There are countless Distros that do not always make it easy to choose the one that best suits each person's needs and knowledge. This page, through a small test, proposes the Distro or Distros that best fit.

"Requires reading up in manuals for usage" why is this considered a pro..?

    Some distros are less intuitive to use than others, apart from also having particularities that others do not have and that require reading the manual, at least in part, also for 'pros' who are not familiar with the specific distro. Ubuntu, Q4OS or Mint, easy to use, are not the same as Parrot, Kali (both are for IT experts), 4MLinux (very lightweight, but not so easy to handle as it seems) or Gentoo (among others), which are certainly not made for newbies.

    I understand that, but just because I'm capable of working with a less friendly system doesn't mean it's a good thing. If anything I'd still list it as a negative aspect that it requires more knowledge and research.

    If there was a question with an answer like "I'm looking for a challenge" it'd make sense that it's listed as a positive.
