Interesting taking over the centre, but maybe use database and learn the best opening choices and sometimes black gets stuck then

I play the austrian attack with white. 1. e4; d6 2.d4; Nf6 3. Nc3; g6 4. f4!. black usually plays on the queenside or in the center with c5. You play on the kingside or in the center.

Play a 150 attack setup: f3, Bd3, Nc3, Qd2 and 0-0-0. Then h4, h5 and break em

austrian attack

Bg5 (the Byrne) is great and works well.

f4 (the Austrian) is another good line.

Another good line is the 150 Attack, like @PabloNajdorf mentioned. One additional good thing about the 150 attack is that it is really natural to play, and the ideas are not complicated. It is fun and also easy to understand.

4.Be3 and 4.Bg5 are 2 choices that can put pressure on black early

This is my pet line vs the Pirc (or Modern). I play Be2, instead of f3, to save a tempo, and trade my bad bishop for a knight, then I play f3 with tempo vs black's light squared bishop. After that all the usual, attack down the h-file and try to checkmate. This tends to work well, if black castles early on the king side. Smart opponents postpone castling and play in the Hippo style.

Yes, it's almost the same. I started with 150 and it's a very good starting point, never had major troubles vs. the Pirc.
