#linuxdesktop

I have finally started using #linux as a desktop OS. After a few years of using Linux as on servers, I decided to splurge some money on a second ssd for my laptop (I do not trust myself or anyone with dual booting Linux and windows from the same disk, thus a second ssd + more space for games).

Decided to go with Fedora (originally planned void linux, but KDE plasma didn't go as planned). So, from there I am setting up hyperland, attached a screenshot in it's unfinished state.

Also, the host name of the laptop is an easter egg to vtubers as my laptop is a nice silver colour.

🖥️ After 5 years of daily-driving Linux, I finally made a video breaking down my full workflow — the tools I use every day and why I stick with them.

▶️ Arch Linux, Hyprland, Jellyfin, Logseq, Zen Browser — minimal, efficient, and self-hosted where it matters.

Would love your feedback, it’s my first video!

Thinking of switching to Linux...
I've read that it's more flexible in terms of "modifying" open source softwares (mainly photography) to have my own versions and simply has more freedom. Since I discovered these softwares I never looked back but I'm a Windows user my whole life.
What's a beginner friendly version of Linux you advise me to give it a go ?
