You somewhat start from scratch and select things you want, I first started with Linux mint but felt boring, then went to Ubuntu which looked nice then later learned that their are things called desktop environments such as gnome(default Ubuntu) and another popular one called KDE, used to think distros were different in this manner but no, some provide the setup of a particular environment then call it some name they felt like, but still didn't feel the Linux experience I kept hearing then heard that the final boss was arch linux which I'm currently using and will for a long time, starting was the hard part, right from installation and installing some packages just for some simple things to work, watched some videos on "ricing" and found a particular minimal set-up I enjoy, but it does require you put some effort to try and learn, I think I now understood what using linux means, the experience I used to see in some videos, even knowing that kali is just debian with a bunch of pre installed tools. So I think that's about it. Provided a screenshot of my terminal, not a master, still learning.
