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.

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.
