    Lol yeah I can see how that can be confusing. I was introduced to Ubuntu early as a student through lab PCs, so I just assumed people just said linux, when they meant Ubuntu Linux. Nowadays I use Arch btw

        I really like it so far. Using it on my laptop as a learning experience. Won’t be the end of the world if I seriously mess it up or something breaks. Got timeshift installed and have all dotfiles backed up with etckeeper and chezmoi. Also have a list of packages backed up, so I’m feeling confident I can readily set it up again from scratch if need be

        I still use bazzite on my gaming PC since I need it to just work and just launch my games, but that might change as I get more experienced.

      I had a similar but different experience. My first in-person introduction to Linux was Ubuntu via some training for a job. When the class referred to it as Linux, our instructor would tell us “Technically it’s Ubuntu, not Linux” so I thought Ubuntu was an entirely separate OS that I had just never heard of before
