Crotch Fruit posted:To me, learning Linux by "just using it" means learning to put up with broken poo poo until some wizard on the internet posts the right fix, which is difficult to find to the point where it might as well not exist, or live with until the next update. Maybe using Linux for a complex task like a file or web server might teach me more about how to troubleshoot Linux, but only in the file or web server sense not so much the just get Netflix to work sense. *Disclaimer I don't actually care about Netflix on Linux, it probably works great, but a few years back, I seem to remember it being the common problem a lot of new users struggled to fix. It's license based things tied to paid OSes that are a pain. Any OS you have to learn by using really, and alot of the time people recommend Ubuntu or Linux Mint just because it's the easy way. I personally think that my Arch install was pretty easy to manage. I get more problems with Windows 7 giving me random errors than I do in Linux anymore. Maybe it's just that I've got a very minimal Arch+i3 install that I use on my bedroom comp and my main OS is Parrot Security (which is very stable for the usefulness it provides me). You can always take the "wizard" route or learn the actual problem, which prepares you for similar situations. Using it as a file server is a decent way to go if you go through the steps, and maybe learn how it works along the way. In all honesty though I just prefer to have my system running as light as it can, even if its just to boot using less than a GB of RAM (my Arch is 47MB) or using less than 1% of CPU. I still use Windows for alot of things but I prefer the ease of everything I get from Linux. Also, just to put out, it's not complex to use as a file server. it took me less than an hour to install and set up each of my servers to boot to ssh and then it was just copying my configs onto them.
