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.

    So on the gaming front, pretty much any mainstream Linux distro would work for that. Proton is pretty damn stable and great on any distro that supports Steam. If you like Bazzite though, you do you.

    For pen testing, must-have skills are nmap, bash, sqlmap, wireshark and the burp suite. If you know how to use all those, you’ve got basic coverage of most common attack vectors (password cracking is also covered by bash, there’s 101 different password cracking algorithms in various CLI spps).

    I’m a lazy ass who doesn’t care much about customization, hopefully someone else can help you with that :))

    A quick Google shows that someone got sharex working on Linux: https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/issues/6531

    Might take some effort and learning bash and WINE + winetricks to get that running, but hey, you’re gonna need to do that anyways for the pentest stuff :)
