The latter. Imo distros essentially are the choice of different package managers, software repositories and pre-installed software. PopOS will work perfectly for development, provided you install the tools you need. Debian/Ubuntu based distros like PopOs, have a fantastic software repository, out of the box.

Good point. I'll add a note about RAM.

Good idea. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with touch screen devices on Linux. I should do research into it, as it would be a nice addition.

I heard somewhere that Fedora Workstation includes the Surface kernel-module needed for Surface devices, though I'm not sure.

When I first began researching Linux, for my needs, I found the number of different Distros to be overwhelming. So I made this flow chart, with the intent to help new users find a starting point for choosing a distribution.

I'm open to critique, as to making this chart as helpful as possible.

EDIT: Chart updated based on suggestions in the comments.

Yattee is an app on iOS that might work, though I haven't tried it. Also on iOS, one of the Invidious website instances (3rd party YouTube front end) in Safari or installed as a PWA. On pc, using an Invidious site with the YouTube domain filtered out through your router or Pi-hole, could also work.

3rd party YouTube clients such as NewPipe, LibreTube and Freetube offer such options, if available on your device.
