Hey, I wrote a simple intro recently from guiding two friends into Fedora KDE without any previous knowledge. Its just an introduction really, but covers some basics.

It does not cover dual booting though. As they both decided to fully swap after brief testing.

Others already mentioned Ventoy and that bricking isn’t really a risk - the worst you’d encounter is a complete wipe and restart so make sure you’ve got things backed up either way.

Thank you! Yeah I’m the same - if the first thing I see on a project page is some picture or video or output of what it’s about I’m much more intrigued to read on.

Tooting my own horn here and I know it’s not a 1-1 replacement, but as others mentioned some great alternatives (diun, cup, wud) I’d like to suggest dockcheck.

Very nice! Now posted here: https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck/discussions/146

Thats really nice! Thank you so much for the writeup.

Would you mind if I added this as a discussion (crediting you and this post!) in the github project? Or if you’d like to copypaste it yourself to get the credit and be a part of the discussion.

Thank you! Oh! That’s pretty cool, do you mind sharing bits of how this is done? Would be nice to incorporate into a notify-template in the future.
