I've been using Red Hat-related OSes almost exclusively for the last several years (Fedora, Rocky Linux, etc.). If I want to go further in exploring complete control over the function and design of a Unix-like OS, is it more worth it to look into OpenBSD or Slackware?

fedora or redhat based is PIDA in my optinion, give bunsenlabs a try, works out of the box like a charme. i'm using it for yeara now, just installing auto-apt ant importing my apt pkgs, nothing else. · 2 years ago
i tried out fedora on my laptop and was very surprised how hard it is to customize the design. If you'd like an OS where that's much easier I recommend my main OS for the past 5-ish years which is Linux Mint :) · 2 years ago
It is definitly worth if you don't use it commercially, for that use case u want a linux with service. for fun and learning, try as much as u can. all BSDs, hpux, solaris, AIX, etc. in my former life a was an unix sysadmin and you could never gain too much experience with OSs, even windows ;) OpenBSD is great, powerful security features. you should try to build an LFS, you will learn a lot about system design and stuff. or try Plan9 or inferno or haiku, there are other OSs on the market... · 2 years ago
