Can someone explain Linux to me?

I have a very crappy old notebook with 2gb of ram and windows 10 32 bits in it. Was thinking about getting a 4gb ram stick and using Linux instead of windows, but I am afraid I won't know how to use it, since people say it's hard. What do y'all professionals think? Can someone also explain how Linux works for me?

I want to create a window switcher for Linux. Is a Wayland client the correct approach?

I want to try and write a window switching tool for Linux. I would like for it to be desktop environment agnostic if possible, but I'm targeting Wayland. What tool/protocol/technology should I be using in order to retrieve information about open application windows, and to switch to one of them? I've looked into creating a Wayland client, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach. There also seems to be something called D-Bus.

I would like to use Rust, and I've been trying to find some way to use wayland-client to retrieve information about open windows, with no success. Proomting didn't help either.

Am I on the right track trying to create a Wayland client, or should I be using D-Bus, or something else? Do you know what other similar tools use, for instance Rofi?

After a year (at least) of Linux as my daily distro

I'm creating this post just to give an opinion to people who want feedback on using Linux as their primary operating system.
I would first like to apologize if my post contains any linguistic errors or inconsistencies, I am not a native English speaker and will do my best to proofread and correct myself :)

Before Linux I was on Windows which was enough for my use, not too buggy, a bit too heavy for what it is imo (size on disk, ram usage) but at least it was working OK especially for games. A couple of month before the Microsoft Recall announcement (which was the final blow to my decision) I've decided to give it a try to Linux and especially Arch linux. I don't really know why THIS distro, just it was the one that interested me the most, so I gave it a try.

I always heard that the install process was a pain and that you should be experienced to go through, but I didn't find it THAT hard. It is not as straight forward as a windows/Fedora/Ubuntu install, but as a developer with a good knowledge base, I didn't find it overly complicated (especially as there are good tutorials on the Internet).

I have to admit that I had to restart the installation process 3 or 4 times before I got something I was completely satisfied with (disk partition due to dual boot with Windows, good driver selection, ...) but I want to say that even if I had decided to stick with the first installation, it was already working very well!

For each distro you will have to learn the basics like for example the package manager, basic commands, etc. but it's not THAT overwhelming. It just a matter of time and practice. Of course you will do some mistake and maybe you'll need to reinstall your whole distro because you messed up something, but it's part of the learning process, you've already spend some time learning how to use Windows afaik :)))

I finally landed with a fresh Arch linux with Gnome with wayland as my daily driver. I have to admit that for most of my installs, Arch linux did most of the job. For example I have an Nvidia driver, I've just checked on the internet to find what was the prerequisites to make it work, configured/installed everything needed and then... well... i've got a perfectly working Nvidia GPU on Arch ! Nothing more to say! Most of the software that I was using on Windows are either native friendly or alternative are available.

I recently encountered a bug in Gnome where, when my second monitor was turned on, as it is in reversed landscaped mode, my Desktop Environment was laggy as hell, the bug was reported, the Gnome contributors deployed a patch for this issue and in less than a week the problem was solved and today I once again have a desktop environment that runs like crazy!

When it comes to gaming on Linux, I have to admit that NOT EVERYTHING is perfect, but thanks to Steam Proton's work, most, if not 99% of my games are working on linux! I'm stuck with some of them, like WRC which is locked behind EA anticheat but for everything else, I mean for the few other games I like to launch, I've always managed to get a game to launch and run smoothly by swapping out the different versions of proton. Even streaming is not THAT bad, definitely not perfect but it's worth trying.

One point I can make from my own experience is that most of the files I want to keep (photos/videos/important documents) are on an external disk, and anything that requires configuration (the so-called dotenvs) are saved on a personal git so I can reinstall Linux and not have to reconfigure everything, but that's already an advanced use case.

Finally, for the dev I don't think I need to point out that Linux is a developer's paradise.

To conclude, I'd say that anyone who wants to embark on the Linux adventure must expect to encounter a learning curve at some point, as it's something different from Windows, but the difference isn't Herculean, and backing out for fear of getting stuck shouldn't be a given. I personally think that Linux

as a whole (whether Arch, Gnome or Wayland, whatever the layer involved) is improving a lot these days. So don't hesitate to just pick up an old PC, take some time to get to grips with it and form your own opinion.

I hope this feedback and my opinion has been of interest to you and may be useful to some people. I'd love to go into more detail on certain points of interest to you that I wouldn't have touched on here, but I've kept it very general so that it doesn't become a book either. :)

My Linux Journey so far

Hi all,

I wanted to share my Linux Journey as someone who's lightly dabbled in it. Overall I find myself still using Windows more because it's easier to run programs although gaming is definitely easier when using Steam/Wine.

I started with Fedora 39 when I set up my Frameworks laptop about 2 years ago. And tbh it reminded me google chrome when I tried it some years ago.

I tinkerer around with it and somehow I got cisco packet tracer installed using some github. Despite there being no official support for it which I thought was cool. Funny thing is though I completely dropped the ball and didn't write down my steps on how I did it. And haven't been able to replicate cisco packet install.

Later I bought a new hard drive for my desktop before Trump was inaugurated because I knew tarrifs or something else where about to kick me in the crotch. And you guessed it I got Fedora again! I liked it so much the first time and it's stability made it an easy pick. I ended up going with a dual boot setup with windows as my first boot option.

However as I said before getting packet tracer was not possible because I forgot the steps. Still was able to game though and do just about anything.

I decided to move into Ubuntu and download packet tracer that way...only to find out that the version on the website is actually version 22 and not the new 24. And it didn't run. Oof.

I was still able to play games on it and get other things I liked like Microsoft office for work though.

Last major thing of mention was my mechanical keyboard I got for my desktop. I decided to give them a try and boy..was it something on ubuntu. Some of the keys didn't work and I ended up having to go get my friend whonwas more knowledgeable to troubleshoot with me (mostly him) on how to make it so some of the keys were changed via a website. We ended up messing with the chmod files if I remember which helped us finally fix and allow us to use the site to change keys around.

Overall Linux is nice but there is defiantly a need to learn it from the ground up for me. But I struggle to know where to start but despite that I can do some basic things with it.

I would still recommend anyone to try it on something like oracle box as a first timer to get a feel for it before switching from windows 10 to Linux in the future if you decided too.
