General Linux installation

These general pointers are for linux installations.

Pre installation

Rufus/balenaEtcher can be used to flash an ISO image to a USB drive.

During installation

btrfs is a very good filesystem.

Post installation

Adding users

Window managers

Window managers are a minimalist alternative to desktop environments. They typically operate with keybinds.

Moving /home

You may want to move /home after installation of a system to a partition with more space. These commands need root permission.

Use the appropriate filesystem type and partition name.

NVIDIA Drivers

NVIDIA doesn't play well with Linux. If you use NVIDIA graphics, you will need to install appropriate drivers for optimal display functionality, like turning up the refresh rate.
