Let's start with the laptop, because this is where things take shape before I make them on the desktop.
I use 2 laptops. The first one is a Slimbook Executive 16, and the second is a Tuxedo Stellaris 15.
They both use a core i7 12700H, they both have 16 gigs of RAM, and the Slimbook has an RTX 3050Ti, where the Stellaris has a 3060. They both have 1440p screens. Both laptops run Fedora GNOME, using Wayland, with a few extensions.
First is the all important appindicator support. I also added the "Notification banner reloaded" extension, the Quick Settings tweaker extension, the Privacy Quick settings menu, GS connect, and I have light / dark theme switcher.
And to manage these extensions, I use Extension Manager, a wonderful app that lets you browse, install, update and configure everything.
On top of that, I installed the libadwaita GTK3 theme so apps that haven't been ported to GTK4 still look like the rest of my desktop, as much as possible.
First is writing my scripts. To do that, I use the Iotas Note application. To research scripts, I use Firefox as my web browser, with the Nextcloud passwords extension to sync them between devices.
My laptops are also where I do most of my email, and for that, I use Geary. I also handle all my todo lists on my laptops, and for that I use Endeavour.
I also use the Nextcloud desktop client to sync all my files between devices, and the Synology Drive client, which has a COPR repo that packages it. And finally, I have the occasional use for the GIMP, and OnlyOffice.
I make heavy use of the split screen feature. I also use the activities view, by using touchpad gestures. 3 fingers up on the touchpad brings the overview, and then I can just select a window, or open a new one from the bottom dock or using the keyboard.
My desktop has a Ryzen 7 5800X, an RTX 3070, and 32 gigs of RAM. It's plugged into an LG curved ultrawide monitor at 1440p, and I use a logitech MX Master S3 as my mouse, plus some generic logitech speakers.
My desktop runs Fedora 37, with GNOME. I also add the exact same extensions as on my laptop. I also don't use minimizing at all.
Then, I use Davinci Resolve to do the actual editing. If I need an illustration, like a screenshot, I'll just use the Firefox screenshot tool to capture parts of a webpage, or the whole webpage entirely,.
If I need to record my screen, I use OBS. If I need to quickly download a meme video, or one of my own that I didn't back up, I use Tube Converter. All my Virtual Machine needs are handled using GNOME Boxes, I upload my videos using Firefox, all my thumbnails are done using GIMP.
To record podcasts, I use Audacity with a Blue Yeti microphone.
I use the keyboard a lot here, with the super key being used to open the activities view, or a double tap of the super key to access the app launcher, I use super + left or super + right to tile a window, and super + alt + an arrow key to move to another workspace. When I need to quickly move a window to the next workspace, I use super + alt + shift and an arrow key.
I also use the super key to drag windows around, or super + middle click to quickly resize a floating window.

One extension that is a must have for me in regards to consistency is the rounded window corners (not to be confused with rounded corners) as it will "fix" the bottom corners of GTK3 applications to be round too :)

[@axonn101]

This video reminds me of why I stuck with GNOME for so long. I like my current KDE setup quite a bit. It is just hard to beat the UX/UI consistency of GTK4. The GNOME Circle apps are also great.

[@kuwandak]

KDE apps: A full blown paiting app that is arguably better than paid options; an app that can output a graph if you input an equation; an RStudio like app; feature rich text editors and an IDE with support for tree view and LSP; an entire office suite; a video editor; a music conerter; a tagging aplication; KDE Connect, etc. GNOME Circle apps: an app that allows you to visit wikipedia without opening a browser; a lorem ipsum generator... for when you want to not open the browser; a radio app, so that you don't need to open the browser; a magic ball app, so that you don't need to open the browser to do t-that, uh, yeah. GNOME apps are great indeed.

[@catto-from-heaven]

@@kuwandak They only good one you mentioned is Krita, all the other ones are utter garbage, specially Kwrite/Kate and Kdenlive. Also, it's very easy to say such a thing when you compare the most complex KDE apps against the simplest Gnome apps

[@tostadorafuriosa69]

​@@catto-from-heaven also some of the gnome apps even the simple ones are quite useful

[@maxarendorff6521]

Protip: Get a mouse with reprogrammable buttons (I use the Logitech G203) and remap an extra key to activate Gnome overview. I use a program called piper. That way, you can manipulate windows and switch windows/workspaces without using the keyboard or moving the mouse up to the activities button.

[@maviniii]

Oh man, you have no idea you saved my life. I’m pretty new to Linux and I have a mouse MX Master 3S, on Windows works just great, but I have no ideia on Linux. How do I install piper? I’m using fedora… sorry if the question is too simple 😢

Thanks for this deep dive into your private workflow.

[@arxaaron]

THANKS NICK!! This video is an excellent confidence builder for my intentions to migrate my Audio and Video Media production workflow from Mac to Linux (leaving behind several older Macs hitting an OS max of HighSierra or Mohave). Lots in common with my style of interface usage as well -- virtual desktops all the way. 🙂Totally on board with ALL your choices of tools as well -- DaVinci Resolve and BitWig Studio support for Linux are big reasons for my migration decision. Hard choice moving forward is high end System76 or new Framework 16". Based on your experiences, Nvidia GPU may be the deciding factor. Your thoughts on both that choice and on the better Linux distros for keeping those older Macs out of the landfill would be welcome!

I keep forgetting the super + left click and super + middle click tricks, thanks a lot for bringing them up!

[@shaunpatrick8345]

Text scaling is a good workaround for not having DPI scaling, but it is set for the computer rather than for each monitor. I run a custom script in the Run Command dialog (Alt+F2) to switch off my laptop's text scaling when I dock it to my monitor (and back on when it's undocked). There's an extension which does the same thing from an icon in the Top Bar, but typing is so much quicker!

[@obvinpro]

Nice and simple workflow

[@AdroSlice]

Ive been loving using arch+sway at work for the past 3 years. As soon as you have everything set up, just the way you want it because it's arch, it runs as stable as any other distro, and perhaps even more so due to the lack of automatic updates. If you do want to update for the sake of security, stability or installing new software, the process will be less or more involved depending on how long you waited, but it's a tradeoff that *you* are making, actively. You can set aside a couple minutes to run the upgrade, and if it all goes well you'll be done in no time. If it doesn't, well, I've only managed to brick my kernel twice, and that was one time because I used a zfs package compiled for a specific kernel version (Fix: DKMS), and one time because a kernel update GPLed some symbols which zfs wasnt updated for yet, but that one did not stop me from working because I installed an LTS kernel alongside the regular one.

[@AdroSlice]

By the way: I work as an IT service and security engineer, and a most of my customers are unfortunately windows users.

Very detailed workflow demo. I hate having to use multiple devices. Ever since I got work laptop more powerful than my desktop, I do not even turn it on except for backups. I am not a big fan of desktops environments since most of apps I use are not tied to them. I use nvim and code mostly. Brave,mpv, lf as file manager, lazygit as git client, cmus music player, insomnia for APIs, neomutt for emails...

Seeing the workflow of other people is super interesting. I personally don't really use workspaces and alt tab a lot. That muscle memory is so set, I'll never unlearn it :\

[@itsamemarkus]

This was really interesting. Especially the extensions part. I'm doing an experiment where I'm using Linux exclusively for a few weeks. When it comes to Gnome I like the clean UI, but one thing really bugs me: The screenshot tool :D There is no editing feature to highlight what I want to show and the alternatives I tried seem to integrate really badly with Gnome/wayland. What do you use?

Nick, again a great video! I like your work a lot. Coulvd it be an option to record and edit the podcasts just with Fairlight inside Davinci Resolve? Why Audacity?

[@TheLinuxEXP]

It could, but I never managed to understand how Fairlight does things. It looks like it doesn’t apply things to some parts of the tracks, it’s hard to find the effects you added, I just don’t really like the interface. I could probably find a tutorial or 2 to get better at it though

[@MichaelZwahlen]

@@TheLinuxEXP You can set an sound effect to one piece of a Sound-snippet or set the effect to the whole timeline. This for you show the Sound Mixer on the righthand side. (Workspace => Show Panel in Workspace => Mixer). Fairlight is Pro in Sound-editing. And the workflows stays same for Video-Editing and Podcast. Only one software-tool to learn. I switched from Audacity to Fairlight for recording Audio-Books for kids. No need to return back :-) I hope to learn video-editing as well. Maybe onetime by a video from you!

[@that_leaflet]

11:10 Did you do anything special to get OBS's title bar to look like that? Whenever I've used Qt apps on Gnome, they either used the old adwaita (pre-libadwaita) style, ignoring the currently selected GTK theme or a titlebar that looked somewhat like Window's.

Touchpad gestures are so nifty and so ingrained into my own workflow and daily even on the fenêtre OS that I'm actually considering getting a touchpad for my desktop PC just to get the gestures on my desktop that I much prefer over keyboard shortcuts or hotcorners (ew) Think Apple Magic Trackpad, but not apple. It just sucks that similarly sized ones are also similarly priced...

I'm a long-term KDE user. I recently tried out gnome on fedora, which I do every couple of years. It looks good, but didn't find it as usable. Also, it gave me huge mouse lag after a bit of use and just moving the mouse around would cause the cpu to spike to nearly 100% on one core. (I have a 6 core Ryzen 4500U.) I tried to troubleshoot it but couldn't find the problem. I had NO extensions installed or even extensions enabled and it was pretty much a fresh install. So that lasted about a week and then I went back to KDE Manjaro.

Why not KDE Arch or KDE EndeavourOS? (Manjaro is an unstable distro without being current. Not to mention the DDOSing and certificate expiring multiple times.)

Endeavour in my opinion is creepy, give a chance to clear Linux, works very well for me

[@cameronbosch1213]

@@d.paradyss8791 EndeavourOS has a really great community; idk why you're calling it creepy. Maybe Ubuntu was when the Amazon shopping lens feature was a thing, but not really Arch.

The only thing that is taking me away form switching to Gnome is tiling window implementation, I heavily use it on Plasma + Bismuth (coming from i3 wm).
