A Smooth Start - Week 1 of Using Linux

Image
  Week 1 I had recently finished building my first PC, and it was finally time to install the operating system. At first, I thought that I would just go for Windows like most people, but when I learnt about Linux, I was doubting if I should even pay the $139 to activate Windows 11 Home. So I begun my research into finding the perfect Linux distribution to my taste. I decided to go with Nobara, a distro based on Fedora Linux. It was gaming-centred, and seemed to be very promising. I proceeding into creating a bootable USB using the Fedora Media Writer software on MacOS, which ended up being very straight-forward. Spoiler: I didn't end up going with Nobara. You see, I was having troubles with my PC trying to get a display on my monitor, and I had to wait several days for a repair to be completed. With all that time, I was starting to accumulate doubts about Nobara. While Nobara was still a very famous Linux distro, ranked top 13 on DistroWatch, I was looking for a distro with a lot o...

Famous Alternatives to Windows Apps on Linux - Week 2 of Using Linux

    Week 2  So far, my PC experience with CachyOS Linux has been nearly flawless. I have played Elden Ring and achieved the frames per second cap of 60 fps constantly. I have even  launched Roblox, which is notably known for not being supported on Linux! Here is a summary of all the software that I have been using in the past week, as well as a note on a small issue that I have experienced.   Productivity  To browse the internet, I am currently utilizing the wonderful open-source Firefox browser by Mozilla. Initially I used the Google search engine, but then I finally transitioned to Ecosia (which I recommend everyone to use). I have done work using these software and I haven't had any productive problems. I am still deciding if I should I use the OpenOffice suite instead of the traditional Microsoft and Google apps. In case you don't know, OpenOffice is a free, open-source software package that contains a document editor, a drawing software, a spreadshe...

Customising your Linux desktop! - Week 4 of Using Linux

Image
  Week 4   Welcome to the fourth episode of the "My Linux Experience 2026" series. In this episode, I will dive into a simple customisation tutorial for KDE Linux desktops, as well as share this week's experience using Linux. This will include some new apps that I have been trying out and my honest review of them. Let's dive right in.   To start off, I am still using the same Linux distribution, the Arch-based CachyOS. I installed it for the first time four weeks ago on my brand new PC. The technical specifications are listed at the end of every post and in the " About " page.   Customising your KDE desktop  Linux is notably known for being very open to customisation in comparison to other operating systems, allowing users to make their desktops fit precisely their taste. Operating systems such as Windows and MacOS start off their users with a generic taskbar and few options to alter the look of it. Putting the desktops of two Windows users side-by-side won...
