  • Thanks for the extension!

    I may give it a shot later. Right now I just spent 4 days getting things set up and to a point where I’m comfortable with it’s use. So I may settle down for a bit right now and just learn to use Pop even more. I like it overall, just had a few small annoyances like the desktop shortcut thing. But other than that everything is just working right now, which has not been my historical experience with Linux.

    I just want an experience that’s as dumbed down GUI-heavy and easy to use as Windows, and so far this is fitting the bill nicely.







  • I’m the same way. I just started using Linux and Landed on Pop!OS. Tumbleweed is high on my short list of things to try, but I finally got everything working, and boy is it working well.

    I think the reason is my hardware profile is extremely similar to Pop!OS products, so I just happened to land on something per-optimized for my system out of dumb luck. I’m frankly shocked at how far linux has come. Lutro is what we’ve been waiting for on game installs for better than 20 years. Steam integration is of course nice, but I hate using game stores and hate being locked into that.

    Anyways, been a cool experience so far.


  • Mixed feelings. And we’re still very much so in the beginner phase. I can stand issues with scaling since the fix was to set both to the same and just deal with it for now. That’s fine. Getting all my other stuff, games, various devices, all that is much more important right now. Once I know how to do all that and feel familiar with running as much command line as linux demands, then we can move on.


  • I appreciate the recommendations. So far Pop!OS has been working great for me. It’s a great replacement environment, I have all my stuff more or less configured, and am still getting things deployed. Once I’m more familiar with Linux I fully do intend to revisit this and try some other OS’s out, but for this moment I’m pretty happy with how things are working.
