There is a dumb idea that out there in Linux distro land that less means more. Take Crunchbang. It positions itself as a distro for advanced users because it uses Openbook rather than Gnome that Ubuntu uses, which it is based on.
Why does this make it so? If you prefer a minimal desktop, great good for you, I have no problem there. But a desktop choice does not make you an advanced user. Far from it.
Crunchbang is no more an. advanced users distro than any of the top distros. If you want a real advanced users distro use Gentoo or Arch, but you’ll spend all you time fixing it. You’ll learn a lot, but do little, the choice is yours.
Just don’t believe that using a minimal desktop makes you an advanced user.
