As also stated by others you should start learning the basic concepts and no specific flavor/distro to understand how everything fits together. You sound like someone who could very well succeed in that, since you didn't give up yet :)
I can only recommend starting to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
Once I installed arch I never looked back.
I heard good things of the rolling distros of Suse and Fedora as well, but arch feels more vanilla than the others to me.
If you have a lot of time and passion you could also have a run of linux from scratch. You do it once for the learning part and then choose a distro of your liking.
- horeszko 3y ago"Once I installed arch I never looked back" I'm also very fond of Arch Linux and I use it on my laptop. However Arch is very much DIY and is great for the person who wants to get their hands dirty because with Arch you assemble and maintain the installation yourself. For someone who wants things to work out of the box with no (or minimal) tinkering, I would recommend a different distro. Arch is a distro for learners and enthusiasts. But it would be frustrating for someone who just wants a working OS.
- mdhen 3y agoIf you want the primary benefit of arch (AUR, best package manager repo) but don't want to do a custom set up then Manjaro is a very good choice.
