Google `speech transcription linux`:
1. "What's a good STT tool for Linux?" with a few handwavey "you might try..." comments
2. "I couldn't find a good STT tool for Linux, so I made..." posts
[This](https://github.com/OpenWhispr/openwhispr/issues/310) is a page on how to get started with #OpenWhispr (afaict the most popular tool) on Ubuntu (the most popular #Linux distro).
Will it even run on my distro (POP_OS)? Who knows? I only see guides for getting it to run with Gnome, KDE, or Hyprland(?). When I tried:
1. the model selector stalled before even starting to download (so I restarted the app),
2. Then wouldn't let me paste an API key in
3. then stalled after downloading a model (so I restarted the app),
4. then wouldn't capture my keyboard shortcut,
5. then did capture my keyboard shortcut (but didn't transcribe anything),
6. then did transcribe but left a tiny permanent window
Contrast to Win10's built-in tool: Meta+H start/stops #transcription in whatever app you have open.
FWIW https://handy.computer is the best I've found.
