  • I meant it in a philosophical sense.

    Let’s say the gist of Debian is stability. How can you understand it? If you install now and use it for a week, you’ll just see packages that are 2 years out of date, and call it crap without going into the reasoning behind it, or finding your solutions to outdated packages. If you install it after a new release and use it for a week, you’ll think it’s fedora with apt, and call it a day.

    If your goal is to learn about Linux, a single manual arch install will teach you more than going through a 100 near identical wizards. And that’s before going into actually useful resources like those that prepare you for Linux cert exams.

    If your goal is to compare distros, a week is not nearly enough time.
