### Decisions

I went to set up a virtual machine to understand what I'd want out of a "new" operating system, so I tried out <span>[Fedora Workstation](https://fedoraproject.org/#editions)</span> at first and it felt pretty seamless, I didn't have to use the terminal for much of anything.

I tinkered with it for a couple of days before deciding to look up system/media installers for Linux distributions (that are able to be run on Windows) and coming up empty-handed, cluelessly thinking that somehow only Windows manages to offer one.

So I just went ahead and installed it over my actual Windows partition (backing up my documents prior).

ShareX is by and large the most useful tool for taking screenshots and packed with some miscellaneous multi-purpose tools inside, both [Spectacle](https://apps.kde.org/spectacle/) and [Flameshot](https://flathub.org/apps/org.flameshot.Flameshot) felt a bit lackluster in comparison.

Everything by voidtools is just muscle memory as a result of Windows's slow search indexer.
