Yeah I'm slowly learning most of the terminology and commands, it can be a bit overwhelming at times.

I had the most success with Manjaro but for some reason chunks of it randomly break over time as updates go on, some Arch enthusiast have mentioned to me its because of some weird shenanigans done by the folks who maintain Manjaro's software distribution, something about updates being held back for "stability" but in the end they end up doing the opposite.

Right now I'm running a Fedora dual boot config with Win11 but keeping the bootloader on a separate drive so Windows doesn't touch it at all.
