Nice list with brief descriptions, but 50 of them?

That is one of the main problems with Linux distros — 50?

Several years ago, I tried several different distros. They were okay for basics, but none of them fully recognized all of my peripherals.

There are many more than 50.

That is the beauty of Linux--it is infinitely customizable to meet any need out there. It does not insist that you alter your work flow/method/design to the OS--you can customize the OS to meet your needs.

Mint KDE has recognized ALL of my hardware starting from install boot.. I have read there is 1 wireless that is an issue (also did I check on that piece... there are work-arounds to get it working too, but, luckily, I didn’t have that wireless ;^)

It’s called choice. I imagine a few Soviet immigrants to the USA said similar upon entering a supermarket. “50 kinds of soup, Comrade? That’s the trouble with America, too many choices, too many decisions. Borscht was good enough”.
