Hello!

I've bought new parts and I am awaiting their arrival so I can build my brand new computer. I've decided to go for Arch Linux with KDE plasma or perhaps Gnome as my desktop environment but that's as far as I've come.

I figured I would ask the community if they have any tips or suggestions, thanks!

If you want a distro recommendation, then Fedora Workstation. There is nothing more clean, well crafted and well maintained as Fedora. After that clean Arch is also good. I would stay far away from Manjaro, not just is it trash, its maintainers are amateurs that again and again showed that they do not have the know-how or the needed sense of responsibility needed to maintain a distro.
