Advanced Distros

These are distributions that are very niche or specialized and require a lot of prior knowledge about things like package management, navigating a terminal and overall familiarity with Linux systems. It's here where you will find yourself doing a lot of the configuration yourself and tailoring your system to your needs or even building one from scratch.

Intermediate Distros

If you have some familiarity with Linux systems these distributions are good jumping off points, but require a bit more work out-of-the-box to get set-up. Distributions in this category can be somewhat niche, come bundled with some more technical tools, or focus on a specific category of use.

Beginner Distros

These are distributions that aim for the widest possible audience. Built for use as desktop operating systems, these tend to focus on ease of use and are often fairly straightforward to use and don't require much prior knowledge about Linux to get going.
