Hello,

I try out new distro every week since I have a lot of free time and want to learn more about Linux. I was thinking that it would be interesting to make a Lemmy post every week talking about my experience with the distro and what I did with it. right now I have alpine linux installed and thinking about using it till next sunday.

feel free to suggest next distro that I should try out. (I have tried out a lot of distros but never wrote anything about the experience but now on I will be making post about it here on Lemmy :) )

    If your goal is to learn about Linux, a single manual arch install will teach you more than going through a 100 near identical wizards. And that’s before going into actually useful resources like those that prepare you for Linux cert exams.

    If your goal is to compare distros, a week is not nearly enough time.

      Yeah, I mainly do it because I want to learn more about Linux and see what different distros offers. but yeah you are probably correct that I should just learn single distro properly.

        A distro is essentially the package manager, defaults, and release schedule. Sure, some have new ideas (like the immutable ones), but that’s the only difference for most of them.

        You need to learn Linux properly, then it won’t matter what distro you’re using.
