The best way to learn Linux for ne was to make comparison table to all the distros and to look for what I want to make decision. Whenever I got questions, I asked ChatGPT. Then, the biggest step, was just using it. As my Daily Driver. I tried dual booting / a second "tinkering laptop" and it did just not work for me.

Now I am happy and keep learning all the small details.

Feels like when I was young and got my first PC.

Is to just use it

Exactly... People hanging on to windows for dear life pretending like they had to "learn" windows

To use it as your daily driver and (learn to) deal with whatever issues and question you may face? That's how I did it ;)

the wiki download thing is so nice

The problem with ArchWiki is that not everybody uses Arch. Some distros (like Fedora) do things diffrently and Arch solution do not work.

Some stuff in the arch wiki applies to other distros, but not always.

[-] lemmur@szmer.info 1 points 4 hours ago

Yup, pretty much

It's excellent for learning, though. When I started using Linux I had no idea what the differences between distros were. Having to "translate" or adapt solutions from the ArchWiki to Debian, Fedora, etc. taught me a lot about using Linux and how my computer worked.

never had any problem. fedora, mint, pop, opensuse.

just think for second before you do thing to system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
