Are you using pop!_os or another distro ?

[–] gccalvin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Most people mention PopOS (debian-based) or Bazzite (fedora-based). I switched from Windows to PopOS (because I'm more familiar with debian) a few months ago. However, I just switched over to TuxedoOS. The main reason I migrated away is that PopOS is moving to Cosmic, which is a DE (Desktop Environment) produced by the developers of PopOS. From what I've read, Cosmic is in a rough place and I had no interest in using it as I like KDE. My recommendation would be to find a distribution that supports the desktop environment that you want to use right out of the box. I've also had no issues with gaming on either PopOS or TuxedoOS.

Uh... My journey actually started with Nobara after researching. But I wanted to try hyprland, so switched to Arch.

One of the things I like about Arch is the yay util designed to build packages basically straight from GitHub, and provide an easy way to upgrade them.

I will also go ahead and say that jumping straight to Arch is a bad idea. I would look at Ubuntu or Fedora first. Arch pushes updates really quickly and it can occasionally cause issues.

Thanks for you answer. I'm a novice concerning linux. I wish too leave microsoft but i'm a bit afraid of breaking my computer.

So far i'm hesitating between mint and pop!_os in dual boot

[–] one_knight_scripting@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Honestly, I would say either of those are good options to start with. I sincerely doubt fully breaking the PC. Maybe research Linux for your GPU, you may have multiple options. It may be worth a second hard drive so you can easily swap back and forth until you are fully comfortable. Dual booting on the same HDD is also possible, but more annoying.

Personal issue I ran into: motherboard customization on my big gamer doesn't work without Windows... Not a huge deal, but my Rainbow LED runs its animation in reverse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

are you looking at the newer version of pop os? It's still in beta, I think you would have a better experience with mint.
