I've used linux distros for a variety of tasks in the past but am finally committed to moving my primary machine to it. This is mostly used for games, writing, development, and web browsing. I've selected Manjaro as my distro.

Anyone have any tips or suggestions? Software to install. Things to keep in mind. Cool things to do you couldn't on windows?!

    Good suggestions. Some of this I already have or planed on getting but hadn't heard of enabling aur or tree style tabs. That is very intriguing to me as I do have a wide monitor.

      I love it, for web content height is so important, so making that shift ended up adding an extra boost. What desktop are you using?

          Plasma includrs a program called krunner that you can activate by pressing Lshift and space. It allows you search for programs and things quickly. I'd recommend the firefox addon that adds krunner integration as well as the calculator for krunner so you can do simple math quickly.
