Ok well, my purpose is just to learn linux, and in fact I was really
confused. I heard people saying that Fedora is too technical. So okay
you are true that one should go with the one is okay. But from
openSUSE and ubuntu which according to you should be given preference?
Asking since I really don't know, I know I can try both but what your
suggestions are....? Is openSUSE good for learning Linux?
