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?
Everyone already gave a ton of helpful tips. The things I thought I should add is System76 started an Official Pop OS magazine on kbin that you can join https://kbin.social/m/pop_os@lemmy.world
And if you ever wanna dive into the Linux terminal and learn how to use the Bash CLI I recommend this book the author made free on his website. https://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php
Edit: System76 moved to lemmy.world apparently
