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!

My general advice is to spend some time making your command line look just like you want it to (font, colors, prompt, etc.), and then try to live on the command line. Just about everything you want to achieve can be done through the command line. It's not always the easiest solution, but it will teach you the ins and outs of Linux, and it'll help prepare you to solve whatever challenges you may encounter.
