Linux post #2.
I've experimented with Linux for years some have worked with my usage, others less so. The last distro I tried was Fedora. For a while it was working so well I even wrote a post about it. Fedora was OK, it worked mostly, but was still didn't quite hit the mark of being a daily driver.I wanted it to work, I persevered with it, I really did, but after a couple of months I found myself sloping back towards Windows more and more often.
A couple of weeks ago the YouTube overlords showed me a video from Fireship titled "There's a new distro in town for developers", I'm sure the screen said "There's a new distro in town" the for developers bit didn't fit. I watched the video and thought I'm in.
I'm not a developer, but I do write the odd bit of code. I'm not a photographer, but I do take/faff with photos. I'm not a lot of things, but I do use a computer fairly regularly.
If you don't read this whole post, the line is this "Omarchy, the first Linux desktop I forgot I was using"
In the past (I'm looking at you, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, gentoo & all the others I've tried) they install easily, force you to do a bit of faffing to get them daily use ready, and then slowly Linux itself becomes the hobby.
As with any OS experimentation you've got to install it, my drive is already chunked up into a Windows partition and a Linux partition. By this point I'd fallen out of love with Fedora, so rather than back up the weeks of config I just binned the lot and installed Omarchy straight over the top of it. The installation is painless and just a process of answering a few questions and pressing next. A few minutes later (it gives you a stat when you install it) you're presented with a sunset coloured beautifully blank desktop.
