So, I finally decided, after years of putting it off, to try out Linux, specifically Pop_OS. I was waiting for another SSD so it would live on its own hard drive on my computer. Today it arrives.

I first heard about it from Emily (I hope this doesn’t offend anyone, just adding for clarity in case some aren’t aware, but formerly Anthony before her transition) on Linus Tech Tips a long time ago. It seemed like an interesting OS, but being the hater of change I am (ironic that I just made a huge change dropping Reddit and love it so far), I kept telling myself, “Yeah yeah yeah, I will try Linux at some point.”

So, does anyone else using Pop_OS have any advice for setting it up that isn’t in the online docs?

    And that is one thing I have been looking for, I just couldn’t think of the right words for google to give the answer… Thanks so much!

      Yeah, app discoverability is definitely a pain point on Linux, for various reasons. Flathub is certainly helping in that regard, but not all apps are available as a flatpak, so alternativeto helps fill that gap a bit.
