That directed me to the exact distro I'm using. Nice. :D

It seems a bit odd to me to ask whether the user has ever used a Linux system before, then ask which package manager they'd prefer (without an "I don't care" option).

I chose pacman, as I'm already using Arch, yet the best match for me was Debian with 87%.

You can signal "I don't care" by pressing the Next Question button without selecting an answer. Not obvious though.

It does say "You can leave questions unanswered" at the start, which can be seen as saying it's an "I don't care" option.

It directed me to the distro I switched to two days ago. Good job.

Well, I switched the desktop environment from Unity to Mate, because my laptop can now be considered old.
