OP was specifically asking how to learn more about Linux. And it’s nearly unquestionable that OP is going to learn more about how Linux works if they use the lower-level tools rather than take-you-by-the-hand point-and-click-adventure programs your grandmother could probably figure out.
Yes I am op.
and thanks for the reply. So I guess I should just skip anything with a desktop environment like manjaro and just figure out how to install bare arch?
Like, to the parent directory of your home directory? cd .. should always go to the parent directory of your current working directory. (/ is its own parent, I believe, so you can’t go any further up the chain than that.)
Is bash ultimately better than dolphin or another file manager? I always thought that it just seamed slow having to read things out with no icons and having to type the filename instead of double clicking. And I have been avoiding installing applications through terminal because I can't find how to properly uninstall them including all data (the fedora software center does this really easily)
I have also had some trouble going further back that my user folder in the terminal I still havn't figured out how to do that.
Lastly what are some "user friendly by virtiue of having few moving parts" distro's that you recommend?
Sorry man I said I was a beginner I have never installed arch before that was more like an end goal I am not there yet I should have said i'm just running bazzite atm.
I love the idea of PeerTube it works really well the only problem is basically no one uploads to it so most of the people I want to watch just aren't there.
I am a python beginner it would probably be a good idea to get better at python before moving onto something like rust. And if rust is so good is there any reason to learn any other low level language like c or c++ unless you are working on a current project that already uses c or c++?
I thought rolling releases were still pretty stable to things really break that often?
