-you can try tinkering around with gentoo in a virtual machine -you can try setting up ESXi or Proxmox as a hypervisor and set up some VMs in there -you can try setting up pfsense, vyos, or openwrt as a router if you want to try some networking stuff -you can try setting up a server VM in something like debian, ubuntu, or almalinux to try to set up a DNS server or DHCP or web server or fastapi server or something -you can try playing around with docker containers

no for main desktop cause i dont like windows too much and like i haved tried pretty much every linux distro

is there a specific thing about arch you don't like? if you just like challenging yourself you can try setting up something like gentoo, if you've set arch from scratch you probably have the free time (to waste)

i mean i customized it and everything but it becomed boring used pretty much every desktop envoierment for it that i can

i mean if you just like setting up machines and figuring stuff out i feel like it'd be a lot easier for you to experiment with virtual machines so like i said, you can try gentoo or even linux from scratch in a VM if you really want to challenge yourself you can even try setting up like macos el capitan

Get kali

but if you're just bored i feel like you'd do yourself a lot more favors by just buying civ 5 or civ 6 or hoi 4 or just minecraft

changing your entire OS every time you get bored feels like a recipe for not being satisfied with what you have

Nobody is really gonna have anything new for you, especially if you're just bored
guninvalid over coax alliance
you can get a lot more experience by setting up vms or a homelab or a network

Yeah so you've already discovered the rough limit of distros. You won't really find anything more interesting Besides maybe QubesOS

guninvalid over coax alliance
so what are you actually looking for in a distro?
Ace_
Ace_OP3h ago
not to be fork of something
guninvalid over coax alliance
because you mentioned you wanted the experience, you can try setting up old CentOS or something my brother/sister/sibling in christ every linux OS is a fork of linux the kernel which itself is a fork of unix
Ace_
Ace_OP3h ago

Ace_
Ace_OP3h ago
