Plus it’s pretty common for newbies to jump around to test out different distros anyway. Most of the time, the differences you will see are just desktop environment. After you have used Linux for some time, then you will understand the major differences between the distros other than the way they look. If you have any questions about Linux feel free to send me a DM. I’m always happy to help.
