🍵 
<p>Pondering <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> distros...</p><p>Arch-based<p>You're either doing the full Arch experience (good for you), or doing something Arch-based that's going to be unpredictably unstable and leave you with a non-booting system at some point in the future, and not having the technical understanding to fix it. Been burned by that already (twice!), hard pass.</p><br>Directly <a href="/tags/debian/" rel="tag">#Debian</a>-based<p>I love Debian. I've loved it ever since a kind person at a Linux LUG burned me a copy of the Debian Potato 2.2 CD-ROMs in 2000. But an every-two-year release schedule is kind of hard to deal with given our current break-neck seat-of-your-pants development practices. Lots of compilers don't even want to work in Debian after midpoint or so in the release (1 year old), requiring things like rustup to be able to compile many tools.</p><br>Ubuntu-based<p>I'm going to skip over all of the meme-based criticisms of Ubuntu, and even the more technical criticisms of snap, which isn't that hard to eliminate. Simply put, from the things I've read, canonical sounds like a cult of personality, and gives me a bit of the heebie-jeebies. Other than that, ubuntu-based distros have the great benefit of actually decent user-focus and community support.</p><br>Fedora-based<p><a href="/tags/fedora/" rel="tag">#Fedora</a> is adored by a lot of Linux enthusiasts, and has the benefit of a fairly large user-base, as well as being in the sweet-spot of having biannual updates. The only negative is the big lumbering evil shadow of IBM. I honestly don't know exactly what the relationship between Fedora and IBM (RedHat) is, but I'm fairly certain [<a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/157sngv/discussion_is_fedora_really_a_corporate_distro/" rel="nofollow">it can't be said that there is none</a>].</p></p><p>Umm... what exactly is left? Anything user-friendly? Well, perhaps...</p><p>OpenSuSE-based. (Yes, I'm using the old capitalization, because I'm crochety like that ;)<p>OpenSUSE Leap seems to have a release every year, which is pretty cool, but the new <a href="/tags/opensuse/" rel="tag">#OpenSUSE</a> <a href="/tags/slowroll/" rel="tag">#SlowRoll</a> seems like a really nice solution!<br>SUSE gives off a lot of "RedHat before they turned super evil" vibes, and I'm down with that<br>OpenSuSE also packages a lot of software for other distros. The debian package I'm using for <a href="/tags/gpxsee/" rel="tag">#GPXSee</a>, for example, is provided by <a href="https://packages.opensuse.org" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>packages.opensuse.org</a> — that's super cool!</p></p>

<p>Friends,<br>Is there a good kind of course/ guide/ how to for learning how to use the terminal (I'm currently running Fedora Linux) for dummies. No crypic abbreviations, no "run this string of code" and then no further explanation, no assuming I know anything but how to open the terminal. Something that starts with telling me what everything means that I see even when I first open the terminal. How to do the most basic things, before going into the more interesting things. One stept after the other.<br><br>Please tell me there is such a thing?
