I'm Officially a Linux User!
(lemmy.ca)
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...
One of us! One of us!
Different desktop environments have different speeds for graphics.
Pop-os is currently making one in-progress so you might be essentally using an unreleased DE for developers to test and optimize?
You can install some other ones and switch to them from login-screen to test their speed. Tiling window managers blew my mind when I first saw them.
Check out unixporn they have lots of WM/DE setups over there. i3/sway for instant and efficient work or hyperland for lots of animations etc. KDE is practically windows but improved.
Tho might also be pop-os being made for new computers.
