      I mean if you ditch Windows and use Linux you might as well go all the way

      That’s the way. Nothing improves the experience on Linux as much as a bit of learning curve. You may go with easy few clicks setup distro and then once you stumble upon any issue you’re clueless. Besides, Arch is much easier to understand than something like Ubuntu.

      It’s a good and easy way to learn Linux.

      LOL I don’t know who that is, but when I found this artwork on Wallheaven after scrolling for an hour I thought she’s pretty cute and she probably the type who use Arch on daily basis

      Yes! SF Pro is the only font for me that looks good on a low DPI display.

    Nice, that’s a clean looking setup! Gotta love how flexible Plasma is.

    Side note, losing write access to one’s own home directory sounds traumatic lol, even more so when you’re new to Linux. Glad you stuck with it anyway!

      Haha, I lose my write access because my dumbass trying to setup SFTP and somehow screwed it all up now I’m using SMB which is much easier to setup than SFTP

        Fair enough, no judgement here either way! Unix permissions can be daunting going in, I know I’ve struggled with them quite a bit back when I was learning 😅

      You mean global menu? It’s just a widget so you can add it to anywhere on the desktop just search “global” in the widget menu

        You’ve made a good choice. Arch is the way.
