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?
Not a big fan of the POP OS installer. Installed it on my brothers PC and one of the weird things was that the partitioning had to be done manually and while it did tell you how you have to partition it, it gave me the wrong size for one partition and that’s why I was stuck for a while since it wouldn’t install because of that. I then installed EndeavourOS on his PC (which is what I use aswell) and the installer they use is really great. It’s arch based tho, which might be something you don’t want.
