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?!
