Best Linux Distro to Learn On

Setup a virtual machine with Debian and use just to get the basics, after one week or so feel free to start reading Linux from Scratch and learning Bash.

Thanks for the reassurance user.
I used Linux Mint and Sabayon some years ago, don't really remember any valuable skills, and I've been wanting to pull the plug on using Windows for a while now.
Wanted to get a distro with less bloat than usual and more stable infrequent updates so slack looked like a good direction especially to learn on, though I am aware that my head will hurt a bit trying to figure out how to use it when I need stuff like drivers to get working.
Hope I manage to force myself through this learning curve.
