Recently, I’ve been using linux(tried multiple distros). I’m curious about how linux works, it’s architecture! Is there a book, guide, video, etc to learn about linux? By using linux, I get to know something. It would be better If I know how linux works!

    I’ve used both, and really, from an understanding standpoint, there’s really not much difference between Arch and Gentoo.

    Gentoo’s main advantage are its USE flags, which the packages use to determine which “configure” options to select at compile time. However, installing and updating the system can take hours or days while you wait for everything to compile.

    Arch, on the other hand, uses binary packages, which is faster, but lacks the flexibility of USE flags.

      Exactly, thats what I said. OP should better focus on learning the basics which is by far faster on arch.
