Hi Yang,
Every distro is OK for learning purposes.
The main difference is :
CentOS8 is a RHEL 8 stripped of any proprietary (licensed) stuff and built based on Red Hat's source rpms.
CentOS Stream should be a mixture of Fedora (Developing ground for future RHEL technology - highly unstable) and pure CentOS. As per my understansing any future features for RHEL will be first deployed on CentOS Stream before moved to RHEL.
Still, the above could have any gaps - so do not take anything for granted.
I would recommend you to start either with CentOS 7.7 (quite stable and reliable) and later move to v8.
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
