I fully agree. It is mandatory to acquire new knowledge.
2005 is ok to acquire knowledge about 802.11 because there are no big changes in protocol.
BTW:
I'm running Arch on all my systems (also for daily use). Build from scratch:
XFCE, because I don't need an oversized desktop environment (no desktop environment on RPI's - a terminal is more than enough here)
Only services enabled that I really need.
Only tools installed that I really need (that include gcc suite).
No third party drivers (I don't buy hardware that require a third party driver. if you have some time, DuckDuckGo for this: "K A L I and rtl8812au issue" and you know what I mean).
I'm only interested in radio transmission systems, methods (that include the all types of modulation) and protocols (that include all protocols used on radio frequencies as well as the whole crypto part).
