You might be right. I'm probably not the right person to ask, because once I switched to linux I used Ubuntu for a month or two, then switched to NixOS. I have used it more than other distros. Also, I am by no means an advanced power user.

One thing I've learned about technology over the years. If you ask, there will always be telling you that you are doing it wrong. No matter what you do. The best way to learn is to dive in.
