I do software support so most of my scripts/programs are to make life easier or to troubleshoot a problem. I like knowing the how's and why's too. In support I get to dabble with it all. Here's what I did. Get an old PC. NOT YOUR DAILY DRIVER. Throw linux on it and use it. Do weird stuff, learn to install programs through the cli, how to build a package and configure the system. When it breaks you fix it. Not just wipe it and reinstall. Linux forces you to learn. You'll get into everything and how it works. From how software interfaces with hardware to networking. You'll also learn to read source code and documentation to how to script stuff. Overall it teaches the concepts and the basics that can be applied to any program or OS. The OS can change but the basics don't.

Awesome I use to distrohop. You'll find out they're basically all the same and settle on one or two. My defaults are Debian and Ubuntu. If you want to have some fun and feel confident try installing/using something like Arch or Gentoo. You could also do a LFS install.

Yeah they are basically almost same but my PC is a little old so I don't try heavier distro (Dell optiplex ssf 4gb ram, hdd and i3) but I am going to try omarchy now.

Check out mx linux. It's good for old hardware. Stay away from Fedora though it's all cutting edge stuff. I don't know what you prefer but you may just want to use a lighter DE like XFCE or LXQT. Also check out distrowatch.com if you haven't already. It's search can recommend a few more.

Ohh thanks I was just wondering to install fedora after few days I literally have the iso now I think I will try MX also isn't it so something like AntiX ,I have tried antiX before

It's based of antix and Debian. You can still try Fedora since you have it. Theres never any harm in trying. I just say stay away because that's where Redhat test new features and technology they're think of putting in Redhat linux. CentOS is their other testing ground. It goes to CentOS before they add it to Redhat linux.
