The Linux Setup I Actually Use Every Day

In this video, I walk through how to set up a Linux machine you’ll actually use as a daily workstation. Not a VM. Not virtualization. Not a Raspberry Pi. A real, independent Linux setup that can replace your existing Mac or Windows workflow. We’ll cover hardware, OS choice, tiling window managers, keyboard-first workflows, KVM switching, dual booting, and how to stop fighting Linux so it actually sticks. Links, configs, and guides mentioned are below 👇 * Thank you Sevalla for sponsoring this video.
