Which of the following are factors that determine which Linux distribution a user will use?
There are many factors:
A lot of users take the "ease of use" into account and may favor Ubunu or Mint.
Others may prefer package managers such as RPM, APT, or pacman and may choose Fedora, Debian, or Archlinux, respectively.
Still others may like having full control over every aspect of their system and thus may like Archlinux, Gentoo, or Slackware.
Sometimes it'll be about application: Phone? Android. Server? Red Hat. Desktop? Ubuntu. Router? dd-wrt.
It all boils down to preferences and needs.
