Hello!

I've bought new parts and I am awaiting their arrival so I can build my brand new computer. I've decided to go for Arch Linux with KDE plasma or perhaps Gnome as my desktop environment but that's as far as I've come.

I figured I would ask the community if they have any tips or suggestions, thanks!

Great comment, I've decided to go for Arch and I know that it might come with a lot of tinkering and work. Thanks for the tips and encouragement!

Remember to trust first and foremost the Arch Wiki.
Never follow the random tutorial on youtube/blog/whatever.

Take your time to read. Mess up. Fix the mess. Enjoy.

If at any point it feels too much, no shame in taking a different direction: it's your life and your own time.

Best wishes!
