Need Some Total Noob Advice for Installing and Running Linux

Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like...

If you’re looking for something that won’t break, Debian and openSUSE Tumbleweed are two good options. Both offer the Plasma desktop, though openSUSE may have an easier installation interface for some. Note that some video codecs aren’t (officially) available, so if playing “differently acquired” media is a concern, perhaps Debian would be easier.

If you wanna try arch, consider EndeavourOS. It simplifies the installation process significantly, though it doesn’t do much to help maintain the system. That’s on you. Avoid Manjaro like a plague.

The Arch Wiki is universally considered the best source. 99% of what you’ll see on there will work on any linux distro, so don’t worry about the name. Aside from that, your favourite search engine is your best bet.

Edit: seems the Manjarno site is down. Shame, genuinely useful site for times like this.

If you want immutability, Vanilla is the only good option right now. Services can be a nightmare on Fedora’s immutable systems, and some applications (qbittorrent, in my experience, though I haven’t seen anyone else have issues with it specifically) sometimes just outright decide to off themselves. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad distro, but recommending it to someone who states they don’t know much about computers could cause them trouble in the long run.

"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

Title. Basically, “if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby” where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the...
