Last week I switched from Windows 11 on my laptop to Pop!Os marking the first time in many many years that I installed a Linux Distro on one of my main machines (Iam using a headless Ubuntu for my mini home server though).
I’m extremely pleased so far. Working with it on a laptop seems way more natural and intuitive than Windows. I also gained a substantial amount of battery life in low performance workloads.
I also haven’t had any driver problems or other weird hick ups. Which is great. The last time I tried to mainline Linux that wasn’t the case.
I’m already thinking about using it on my desktop PC but then I’d probably have to dual boot for some stuff and I’m not sure if I want to open that particular can of worms just yet.
I just installed it myself, also coming from windows 11. No particular complaints as my acre laptop is still fairly new, but I want to try to make a go of it without dual booting too much. Office will be the deal breaker, but I’m planning to install it in a VM and see how that works out.
Post this on !pop_os@lemmy.world, it is the official community.
I’ve just started running it on my brand new PC and I had to tinker with a few things I really wanted to use debian instead but got fed up with constantly having to add repos because of the lack of apps. so I switched to pop OS for a more out of the box experience and I’m pretty pleased. h4pe you’re still running it.
