Unfortunately I already left Pop! for Fedora when I updated my GPU. I needed something with an updated kernel anyways and Fedora played nice with it out of the box.

But man, I still am surprised when I open up software and it just… loads with no issue.

I was on pop for a while! It was cool.

Why does the pop shop suck though? Why?? Why is it so slow, why does it crash so much? Why is this such a problem with so many users? It wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back, it was more like an unnecessary brick the camel had to carry.

Nah, you good.

The notification is the the start menu. There’s a little notification dot on the profile icon above the power and settings icon.

Running win 10 enterprise. I can say “remind me later” but not “never remind me.” I did a registry/GPO fix which made it go away… Until it came back. The OS just feels pushy at times.

100% agree. I was getting tired of the start menu notification to sign in to windows, and how the updates would reenable telemetry.

I shouldn’t have to constantly run a debloat script. I should be able to disable “create a windows account” notifications.

The steam deck showed me that Linux can run games, the only thing left for me is a decently running adobe suite, but I can live with the occasional dual boot for that.

Yeah, I leave out the underscore.

Did you try remmina?

I disagree. I think that at least looking slightly familiar can help with the transition to something new. It helps you feel comfortable in a new space.

For those brave enough, this year I finally took the plunge and went with Linux on my desktop.

I went with Pop OS, and after a few days decided to try the cinnamon desktop env. since it’s a little more familiar. Some things took about a week to get figured out, but now I don’t ever want to go back.
