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?
PopOS is great and it would have been great if I knew about it. My first try to use Linux on my PC was short because I didn't manage to install the nvidia drivers correctly.
Everything should just work without any changes. Altough you might need to enable adaptive sync/VRR/gsync if your system supports it.
Edit: And if you need to solve a problem, also look at docs for other distros. E.g. the Arch wiki has many examples that work (similar) on PopOS
