I was initially waiting for Windows 10 to be officially unsupported before I switched to Pop_OS, but today, I just got sick of looking at the Windows 10 UI and decided to jump the gun.
As a complete normie, I am so glad I didn’t fuck up my computer because my laptops settings to get into the BIOS was completely different than how most videos instructed.
I’ve been playing around with it for a bit, and I most say that using this distro is a lot easier than I expected! The Pop Store is a lifesaver! I’m not sure if I could’ve made it if I had to manually install my browser and all that.
I feel like my laptop is now a bit slower and the graphics look a bit lower? Maybe I missed something when reading the rec specs. Oh well…
Sorry to break it to you, but going off your wallpaper, you’re in fact not ‘a complete normie’
You do you tho
Lmao
I was referring to how I have never used anything but Windows and have only seen a BIOS screen when I called HP for tech support. I guess having a Miku wallpaper made nobody think that was the case lol.
I also just switched last weekend! My city was hosting an install fest, made it very easy
I heard about this on Lemmy a couple weeks ago. I’m so jealous, I wish my city would host something similar.
One of us! One of us!
Different desktop environments have different speeds for graphics.
Pop-os is currently making one in-progress so you might be essentally using an unreleased DE for developers to test and optimize?
You can install some other ones and switch to them from login-screen to test their speed. Tiling window managers blew my mind when I first saw them.
Check out unixporn they have lots of WM/DE setups over there. i3/sway for instant and efficient work or hyperland for lots of animations etc. KDE is practically windows but improved.
Tho might also be pop-os being made for new computers.

Have fun!
Love to see you have Pixelorama down there.
For newbie i would KDE neon or LinuxMint cinnamon. PopOS environment is still not stable
