I have no experience with Linux, but I’d like to give it a try. I’m looking at the System76 Meerkat and Thelio with the Pop!_OS option.
I don’t see myself gaming on it because I have a Windows machine for just that. I’d mostly be using it for learning Linux and doing basic things like web surfing and word processing (Libreoffice perhaps).
Any recommendations or advice? Thanks!
Remember that on linux you can change most things, including installing a different software manager GUI such as gnome software, e.g.
sudo apt install gnome-software.I just do updates from the terminal, but I still use pop shop for finding and installing software.
Disclaimer: I haven’t used gnome software, and there are others available.
