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?

    Welcome to the club. Others have given great advice here, but if I was to add one thing, sometimes you’ll find other distribution documentation can help you with the one you’re using. I’d like to think most Arch users (myself included) came to the distro after using their Wiki documentation for years.

      Yeah, I am big on reading documentation. It has saved my ass quite a bit. Even if it doesn’t give me the answer I need, or I don’t quite get it still, it at least lets me hone in on what the potential issue is so I can clarify my search a bit better. I will keep that in mind, thanks!
