I was initially waiting for Windows 10 to be officially unsupported before I switched to Pop_OS, but today, I just got sick of looking at the Windows 10 UI and decided to jump the gun.
As a complete normie, I am so glad I didn’t fuck up my computer because my laptops settings to get into the BIOS was completely different than how most videos instructed.
I’ve been playing around with it for a bit, and I most say that using this distro is a lot easier than I expected! The Pop Store is a lifesaver! I’m not sure if I could’ve made it if I had to manually install my browser and all that.
I feel like my laptop is now a bit slower and the graphics look a bit lower? Maybe I missed something when reading the rec specs. Oh well…
How many ms do you think it usually is? Those specs aren’t that bad for Linux but given it is an old laptop, maybe needs some maintenance work. Run some hardware tests and check.
