So, I finally decided, after years of putting it off, to try out Linux, specifically Pop_OS. I was waiting for another SSD so it would live on its own hard drive on my computer. Today it arrives.
I first heard about it from Emily (I hope this doesn’t offend anyone, just adding for clarity in case some aren’t aware, but formerly Anthony before her transition) on Linus Tech Tips a long time ago. It seemed like an interesting OS, but being the hater of change I am (ironic that I just made a huge change dropping Reddit and love it so far), I kept telling myself, “Yeah yeah yeah, I will try Linux at some point.”
So, does anyone else using Pop_OS have any advice for setting it up that isn’t in the online docs?
To add to this, unlike windows if an app crashes it will give you a real error log. Taking that and googling to error will likely give you a fix in the first few google hits.
I moved to Debian (then FreeBSD though that’s a different story) after about 30 seconds of using windows Vista. The OS has gotten much easier to install and use, really plug and play at this point and finding solutions to errors is way easier than windows nowadays. Most important is to ask if there’s questions, and provide what information you can.
