  • TurtletoPop!_OS (Linux)New to Linux - is Pop!_OS for me?

    I put Pop!_OS on a laptop for my (elderly) mum and she used it for years, never had any issues, every now and then I’d tell it to update to the new version and everything was just fine. In the same time period I would have had to fix a windows install several times.





  • Discord normally (I say normally because I’ve just opened Discord right now to try to replicate it, and can’t - it might be fixed, or it may just need time to reoccur again) has this odd issue where there’s a huge latency when typing, so much to the point where characters start getting completely dropped, making what I can only describe as “alphabet soup” in the input field

    This was the deal breaker for me, I use Discord every day, and this isn’t a bug you can just deal with.

    RedHat in the mid-late 90s here too. It wasn’t a great time for the linux desktop haha. I think I used afterstep or windowmaker back then. RPM hell was bad and hosed my system enough that Debian was like a savior with apt-get. Never really looked back from debian based systems since.
