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.

Just use Gentoo. Do it from scratch on the command line without the GUI installer like a pro 👍
At the very least you'll learn how everything works at a deeper level.
That is indeed my plan, to learn more about Linux by using complex Distros and learning how to use it.

I half agree with this I think maybe somebody should try arch first before using Gentoo because gentoo takes more time to compile
Definitely agree, there’s going to be mess-up’s and your learning process will be significantly slower when you’ve gotta compile everything
