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?
Hope you enjoy it! The biggest thing to keep in mind is that you’ve been using windows a long time, and have a lot of experience with it. It’ll take awhile using linux before you’re as competent with it as you are with windows. I see a lot of new users go through some version of “I’ve been using this for a week, why is it so much more confusing than the software I’ve been using for over the past two decades?”
