    PopOS has been working well for me so far. After a couple of weeks of messing with it to fix some issues, it works seamlessly for the most part. Every so often I find something new though. On Windows I could easily plug in a second pair of headphones and switch between them as outputs. On PopOS it doesn’t work this way. I looked up a fix, but I saw that it will require changing more settings and probably installing some more packages, so I decided not to bother for now, lol.

    I will say that I’m not a fan of the weird pop shop. It feels janky to use, and sometimes the gnome software center gives me notifications to install updates when the pop shop also can install those updates. It feels like there should just be one place for updates and new apps by default.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.






  • I did somehow manage to ruin an SSD when trying to set up dual booting. I couldn’t actually read the data off of it after whatever nonsense I did. After reformatting it a few times to no avail, I gave up on it.

    I probably should have tried reinstallling the firmware on the SSD, but I had it at that point. Even so, the PC still worked. After convincing the computer to boot off of the original drive, I had no issues.
