After symmetry next step would be to select
the Gaussian surface.
Usually integral in Gauss’s law can be
evaluated if Gaussian surface and charge
distribution have some symmetry.
So you need to choose your Gaussian
surface according to the distribution of
charge that is choose cylindrical surface for
infinitely long line of uniform charge and
infinitely long cylinder of uniform charge
