Absolutely yes. Obviously having clear guides and help is good to narrow those choices down, but if we go beyond the basic example of Linux distros, just check out the phone market. There are hundreds of new choices each year, without counting the ones from previous years. It's absolutely impossible to get a good deal without tons of research or luck.
Had to deal with that experience personally these last couple of days, after years of not following the smartphone consumerism hype machine.
