I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.
Edit: https://distrochooser.de for anyone who stumbles upon this post with the same question
What about PopOS? Is it any good? Seems nice.
It’s plenty good out of the box, it was my first distro and I had a great time with it. But after learning more about what I like about a distro I ended up changing. But I’m glad it was my first 😉
Niice! What did you like about it and what did you switch to. I’m on Ubuntu LTS right now. I just worry about driver issues, as everything I have hooked up seems to just work.
As it was my first distro I felt that most things just worked out of the box, compared to what I have learned and experienced on other distro. It has good Nvidia support which is why I chose it. I only switched as I want to distro hop to find what I like the best and to learn 🙌
Considering PopOS is well maintained and supported by System76 I wouldn’t worry about driver issues.
Yeah, they seem neat. I just have a display link USB video card that support is tricky for.
