It looks pretty nice straight out of the box too. You used it long?

We used to run Ubuntu at my last job, it was so nice! I’m back in Windows land now though…

Good for you guys!

Sounds like a keeper! :)

Good points all around. I suppose AMD would be a better choice when the time comes to upgrade. There’s no real down sides to them either compared to Nvidia except maybe not supporting the same ray traving tech?

I’m a bit out of the loop there though.

You know… at least for me, I think I’m past the stage of being horrified over having to use proprietary drivers. I know it’s not as nice as a pure open source system, but still… it gets my system to run better, it’s free and it’s still Linux. So in my opinion it’s a good tradeoff still.

I do get why purists would hate it though and I wish you’d get the same performance with a completely free system.

Geez… you guys are making this hard… now I’m bouncing between ubuntu, pop, endeavour and manjaro…

Nicely formatted post by the way :)

What bugged you about Manjaro?

Ah cool!

Not something I’d use now then but still neat that you can get it :)

Got to love the wife rating :D

But yeah, I had manjaro on an old chromebook at University, it was pretty nice!

One thing that bugged me last time I wanted to try out Pop was that my Efi partition was considered too small. It was 500mb, you’d think that’d be enough?

Yeah, that’d be a no for me.

Especially problematic since I’m on a laptop so I can’t really switch out the GPU either.

Yeah, thought so. Hope they’ll publish their newer versions as well soon.

Gentoo is… well I wouldn’t exactly call it nice, but neat? :)

I’ve played around with it a bunch but grew impatient with it. The compile times was terrible for me back then.

Gentoo and Arch do have their niche though. Takes a bit longer to set up but they’re quite customized to your liking when you’re done.

Yeah I remember it happening for me at some point as well and I think this fixed it. It was quite some time ago though so I’m not sure at all. :P
