Hello,

I try out new distro every week since I have a lot of free time and want to learn more about Linux. I was thinking that it would be interesting to make a Lemmy post every week talking about my experience with the distro and what I did with it. right now I have alpine linux installed and thinking about using it till next sunday.

feel free to suggest next distro that I should try out. (I have tried out a lot of distros but never wrote anything about the experience but now on I will be making post about it here on Lemmy :) )

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.

I second this. Not wanting to shoot down your idea, quite a big deciding factor for me is the release cycle and update process and you won't experience that in a week. Might be a good idea to list what you've already tried though.

how much time should I spend with a distro to actually get the gist of the distro? a month maybe?
