I got rid of my window from my secondary partition(gaming addiction) and now I have a 128 GB m.d. i have been running Linux mint for most of my Linux experience but want to try out something out side the traditional windows setup
I have tried those setups
- Linux mint xfce
- Linux mint cinnamon
- fedora workstation(gnome)
- fedora silverblue(gnome immutable)
- fedora kde
- majaro cinnamon
I would hope for sometimes were the learning curve isn’t too extreme for me(i3 was too much)


I’m currently running CachyOS, where I installed Hyprland and ML4W dot files (basically a well refined set of config files for Hyprland) alongside KDE Plasma. ML4W (MyLinux4Work) has great YouTube videos detailing their installation process.
Hyprland, like i3, is pretty amazing to use once you get used to it, but sometimes it can break, so having the option of rock solid KDE right at the login screen is a nice bit of insurance.
CachyOS is based on Arch, so you’ll need to get cozy with updating and installing software, both from the repository and flatpak, via the terminal. If you’re not already comfortable with that, it’s a great opportunity to learn.
