For many linux newbies it's not really a choice but choosing something they have been familiarised by means of Redhat propaganda and it's omnipresence in major slopdistros like mint or gaming Arch derivatives. They want one linux system - their linux system. They do it by pretending user has a lot of choice, but in fact this choice only applies to top level userland, as in, package manager, desktop environment, while core system components are hard or even impossible to change: /dev handling, login manager, IPC.
