I am a Linux beginner/amateur and I have sort of had enough of copy and pasting commands I find on the internet without having a good understanding of how they actually work.

I guess my end goal is to be able to comfortably install and use arch Linux with my own customization’s and be able to fix it when things go wrong.

What tips/ideas do you have for getting better at navigating the terminal, and getting a better understanding of how the os works. What is a good roadmap to follow? And how did you, advanced Linux user, get to the stage your at now?

Edit: my current distro is bazzite just in case you were interested and thanks for all the replies you are all really helpful.

    If you are beginner in Linux, try beginner-friendly Arch-based distro: EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Manjaro

    You can learn Arch without too much hassle while using one of them

      EndeavourOS is great ! While it’s easier to install than Arch (I guess?) and give you tools to maintain your system, it’s still in need of daily maintenance to keep your system healthy and operational.

      You learn things but at slower pace and with less headache as a beginner. I’m very thankful EOS exists and give you a glimpse on how to configure/maintain and evolve with the Arch ecosystem !
