I recently made the switch back to Linux, to Pop! OS, and I’ve never had such a smooth experience before. It’s currently using GNOME as its desktop environment, which I find a bit shit in general, but they’ve modified it enough so that it’s user friendly and intuitive. It has an “app store” as well that you can use to check for and run updates, search software etc. If you have a big screen, the window tiling function is awesome. Highly recommend you have a look at it!

NVIDIA is trash anyway so no reason to buy one regardless of OS

AMD gang!

In all honesty, I think it has gotten better over the last few years and it should be less of a headache now to use NVIDIA cards, I guess that depends on the OS though

I don’t like that their 14" model only comes with intel CPUs

I’m running PopOS (with GNOME+Cosmic) on my Yoga 6, works without any issues so far

Ugh I can’t wait for PopOs to move to Cosmic

Sounds quite a lot like working in science actually. Just better paid, I’d imagine

Sounds like a horrific, stressful job. How do you cope with that?
