Ive only been using linux for a few months and still dont feel confident that I know what im doing except when the gui can do a thing intuitively, so probably that beginning stage, except the distro Ive been using (ZorinOS) isnt on here. I think its based on Ubuntu tho so maybe that covers it idk. Been thinking about trying a different distro to see if its any better but reinstalling all my stuff again sounds like a hassle so I might just stick with the setup I have for awhile longer.
It’s possible to keep all your binaries and config files on a separate partition and mount them in the root directory to be used with multiple distros. I’m not sure how well this would work if you’re switching to a very different distro though. I haven’t tried this, so it may be a very bad idea. I know it’s possible though.
