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...

The link does work, but it isn't the preferred way to link to communities in lemmy/piefed (and I think Mbin too).

Instance agnostic links look like this:

!<comm name>@<instance.tld>

For users:

@<user name>@<instance.tld>

The problem with linking to comms like the way you did is that it won't be opened in the user's instance (unless they use some client that does support resolving it).

In my client, it opens as a page in an embedded browser instead of just opening the community

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
