Hey folks, I just got Bazzite OS KDE up and running on my PC. Being a Linux newbie, I’d love some tips, tricks, and app suggestions if you have any. 😅 Switching from Windows has been a bit of a maze with all the distros out there, so any pointers would be awesome!

The amount of tutorials out there is overwhelming. Hopefully 🙏 you guys point me in the right direction.

Edit: That is a lot of great information. I really appreciate you guys taking your time to share your experience/advice.

    First, I don’t disagree with that, but I’m always conflicted. Like, eza is better than ls. Atuin is magic history search. btop/fish/helix etc. etc. etc. But for just getting started I almost want to discourage finding alternative tools. But I also don’t lol.

    Also, I am 99.9% certain this exchange is how most distros get started. “We can do a more sensible set of defaults!”

      I just think that these new, fancy applications are more user-friendly, because they are often easier to use, are faster and often have things like colored output. Sure, the GNU coreutils are old and reliable, and can be found on almost every system, making them great for scripts, but for normal, interactive CLI usage I prefer the modern alternatives.
