The Duck applications are all pretty nice.
They make more apps than just Cyberduck?
I'm pretty sure PeaZip supports these as well
PeaZip is nice. I don't use 7zip because it looks and feels ancient. Both are open source and better than WinRAR though.
SteamOS has the big advantage that it's immutable. I have used Arch many times and generally like it, but I recently had a few Arch installations break repeatedly for no reason, and I don't want to deal with that. So I went back to Gentoo, which has always been extremely stable for me. But I like Arch, and one of the distros I recommend is EndeavourOS, which is Arch-based. But it's better for users with some intermediate Linux knowledge, because it's pretty easy to fuck up on Arch.
FreeBSD is nice! I have an old laptop that I keep around so I can play with FreeBSD. I also used to run OpenBSD on the desktop for a few years, but I had another machine running Linux because I couldn't do everything on BSD. But it was a really nice experience, and I still use OpenBSD on servers.
Just saw it, amazing, keep up the great work!
(quick disclaimer: I've been using Linux for over 20 years)
I use Gentoo because I'm a power user and like to customize my system. I don't mind having to compile software from source, and I actually appreciate the benefits I get from it. I use a custom kernel, which I probably recompile once a week because I make changes all the time. I also appreciate the fact that Gentoo doesn't force me to use any particular piece of software, e.g. systemd or sudo. I replaced both, I use OpenRC as my init and doas instead of sudo.
For new users I would recommend something simple like Linux Mint, Pop!_OS or Zorin OS. EndeavourOS is great for intermediate users, and it offers a great introduction into the world of Arch Linux. Fedora and Fedora Atomic, as well as derivatives like Universal Blue are really interesting as well.
There's actually something pretty similar for Windows 10 and 11. It even offers tiling. Not as great as a Linux desktop environment, but much better than the garbage Micro$oft ships by default. https://github.com/eythaann/Seelen-UI
Add PowerToys Run or Flow Launcher and you have a pretty decent, usable environment
Of course use the new Windows Terminal (preferably with WSL and a good Linux shell, but newer PowerShell with oh-my-posh and a few other modifications is also pretty decent if you need to use the CLI in a Windows environment for some reason)

Really happy I went ~~Pro for Windows 10~~ with Linux
You can even connect it with your Steam account, and see all the games from your library, as well as statistics (percentage of the games in your library that work, etc.)
Pop!_OS won't use GNOME for much longer. They're currently developing their own desktop called COSMIC.
It's a third-party project, not an opt-in feature of Bluesky.
