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?
Installing it should be simple, but if you’re not experienced with installing an OS, id highly recommend you disconnect any drives you currently have while you put in the new one, just until you’re done installing. Then feel free to (power off and) reconnect them. Just to save yourself the possiblity of overwriting or erasing and data. You’ll feel more confident if there’s no risk.
Other than that just come ask for help when you need it and try to be specific.
