Learned Linux in just two weeks—starting with Arch Linux—and successfully replaced my previous macOS (2020 m1 macbook) workflow by repurposing an old Dell OptiPlex 7040 (2015 product). Gained hands-on experience with essential Linux tools such as udev, virtual machines, bash, nvim, tmux, thorium, pacman, systemd and linux kernel etc.
