This article is split into four sections:
- [[#General Advice]], psychological or other hacks that I've experienced success with.
- [[#Easy Tools]], pieces of software or other tools that aren't the *best* option strictly, but they take very little time to set up.
- [[#Medium Tools]], something that anyone who's willing to invest a little time learning [[on-linux|Linux]] or some other foreign computer concept can do.

- [[#Tools for Hackers]], which are for power-user use and not for the faint of heart. Expect to configure until 3am, or to create your entire own ecosystem along a few guidelines I give you.
You'll notice that the more performance has a direct relationship to price, and complexity has an inverse relationship to price. Something that you set up that's highly complex is likely to be free, but easy and user-friendly tools may be paid, with price increasing the more performant and feature-rich they are.

## OS/Configuration
I run Fedora Linux with the GNOME desktop environment. I was a longtime Windows 10 user, and dabbled in Linux a bit, but eventually got fed up enough with Windows that I swapped for good.
Previously, Ive also daily driven Linux Mint. You can read more about my history with Linux on [[on-linux|its dedicated page]].

### On User Interface
Ive daily driven XFCE, Budgie, Unity, and KDE before. No DE really caught my eye in a way that feels both intuitive and productive until GNOME. The overview is such a neat concept thats performant, useful for rapid task switching, and pretty. I recommend the Blur My Shell extension for best results, as well as an extension that gives you trackpad gestures for your windowing system.
- Little tip for productivity: if you use gestures, throw each new window on a different workspace and swipe instead of alt-tabbing.
