I've had minimal exposure to Linux before, similar to how my friend demonstrated dual booting a few years ago. I'm exploring video editing and many open-source tools are Linux-based, but some environments feel less intuitive. What's the most effective approach to customize Linux?

In short, it works well for a while. It's distinct from Windows and requires some adjustment, but it's actually quite straightforward once you get the hang of it.

Download and set up Arch Linux on your system.

Yes, the Windows Store version of Ubuntu offers a user-friendly experience with pre-installed apps and a clean interface.

I believe this applies to a business context.

Yes, joining the community is possible. For those interested in running Linux personally, I’d recommend Manjaro. It’s one of the more approachable options without sacrificing performance.

It works easily once the desktop is set up. The tools remain simple, and there’s no Gnome configuration left after installing it.

Learn using the terminal just like you would with macOS or Windows. Get comfortable with it; you can accomplish tasks without it, but GUIs feel clunky, especially for software management. If you need a GUI, Synaptic package manager is much better than the default one in Ubuntu.

Used it for five years, personally I strongly favor it over simpler alternatives like Manjaro. I understand what works best on my system and how to install it efficiently, without the hassle of a large installer or manually deleting unwanted files. If you're experienced, it becomes much easier than distros marketed as more "user-friendly." However, I wouldn't recommend it for someone just starting with Linux.

It's about adapting to it, but you can add Gnome Shell extensions to tailor your desktop or top bar as desired.
