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…

    Thanks! I’m so happy I’m free of seeing Copilot, Cortana, or Bing results each time I try to search for something on my computer its very refreshing.

      AI should be an add-on, not built in. Microsoft is constantly bulldozing their AI product into Windows. I always hated that.

      Gnome is introducing embedded AI but that is an actual add-on despite the AI hate. So there’s nothing to hate about gnome giving features to the users who do want to embed AI.
