Tips/tricks for beginners
Hey folks, I just got Bazzite OS KDE up and running on my PC. Being a Linux newbie, I'd love some tips, tricks, and app suggestions if you have any. 😅 Switching from Windows has been a bit of a maze with all the distros out there, so any pointers would be awesome!
The amount of tutorials out there is overwhelming. Hopefully 🙏 you guys point me in the right direction.
Edit: That is a lot of great information. I really appreciate you guys taking your time to share your experience/advice.

Why do you need something similar to Latte Dock? Why can't you just use Latte dock?
FlameShot is a great alternative for ShareX, I don't really know about Fan controller, but KDE has a built-in replacement for Flow launcher called KRunner. By default, you should be able to launch it with Alt + Space. If not, check the Keyboard shortcut page in the system settings.
From what I have read, Latte-Dock is no longer being maintained.
It's not longer maintained by the original developer, but apparently the KDE project picked it up and it should still work, just like it did before
I couldn’t get it working even after installing so went the plamsa kde panel route
I also the normal Plasma panel, don't have any issues with it. They added quite a few Latte Dock features to the normal panel. Your desktop looks great btw!
I feel like third-party docks are not correctly implemented. A plasma panel is what you should be using. Thanks (: That was my first-ever try, by the way. I can’t make the background transparent despite selecting the transparent option.
This might happen because of your theme, what Plasma theme do you use? Try the default Breeze theme to see if it fixes the issue.
