The humble Linux start

Installed my ssd, got my flavour of the penguin, CachyOS with PlasmaKDE, it was an ok installation process, got my vpn running in seconds, still cant run discord or see my external hdd yet...

Anyway, I will mess around with it a little bit, until I get the basic knowledge of what is what, I guess, then probably move to either omarchy or a tiling window manager of any kind, because when I do anything, in windows I always have multiple windows open next to each other, and it seems that hyprland (or whatever its called) will just simplify that workflow, I developed over the years, and automate the window placing.
For now... How do you work this thing? (had to write this in windows because linux still doesnt see the external hdd lmao)
