Hello guys, I like linux so much. Today just learned about kernel and nfatables going through kernels. What's yours biggest struggle right now?

I'm past any troubles and in freeze mode right now, very lazy.
nftables and firewalls is good way learn about networking.

Hi there! Welcome to the forums!

For me, some of my struggles are with the terminal, as I am still relatively new myself for running linux almost full-time. I'm getting there, though!

Welcome! Linux is so fun, especially when your new and fascinated about all the freedom and choices we have to experiment with.

I'm happy these days as I've learned which preferences I like best over the years. I still fiddle with stuff, but not so much that I'm using backups often to recover from freaking stuff out and screwing up. It happens! Especially when I get in a mood to do something like... Hey, let's see if this will work kinna thing, that most wouldn't try. Experiments Ugh.

Welcome, welcome.

Like many others here, I've been using Linux long enough that the learning-curve is way behind me.....but that doesn't mean I've lost interest in trying out new stuff.

Anyways; kick back, put your feet up, grab a beer - or whatever your preference is - and enjoy the atmosphere. There's always summat interesting going on.....and don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter how daft they might sound to you...

We have a diverse & knowledgeable crowd here, spread out around the globe. Whatever your issue may be, we'll do our best to help with finding you an answer.

Enjoy the forums.

I missed this one, or simply forgot to reply.

Welcome to Linux. I think you might mean 'nftables'.

 

[Mike-BTU]

I think you might mean 'nftables'.

Formerly called iptables, IIRC?

Yup. I don't know all of the technical details, but it's supposed to be quite a bit better.

Want to know which linux distribution is used most by newcomers who just switched to linux, and why? Easy to use, stable, or fast to update?

Mint is most recommended to new users, but I'd warn you against it because upgrading to newer version is discouraged and often leading to issues that newcomers can't deal with.

For your 3 points (easy, stable and fast to update) my suggestion is Debian.

I'd also suggest solving a quick test that will help find a suitable distro for you:

Distrochooser

The Distrochooser helps you to find the suitable Linux distribution based on your needs!

distrochooser.de

And btw. you should have created your own thread instead of posting here.

Thank you, sir. Just to be clear, I've been using Debian13 for a while and have no plans to switch to other Linux

Just wanted to get to know each other, communicate.
