  • I don’t like other distros that include lots of programs out of the box. I might need an office program, a music player, etc. But I want to choose it all myself.

    I like KDE, but I also like some gnome applications, and it’s difficult to find a distro that only installs one or the other.

    I find it easier to start from scratch: Give me a basic desktop environment, a terminal, and I know how to take it from there.

    The rolling packages are a nice touch. As a linux gamer, any bit of free performance I can get from simply installing an update is appreciated.



  • Learning the specific program you’re looking to troubleshoot will help a ton.

    Searching “how to make a bookmark” might show you how to make a bookmark on your browser of choice, but it might also show you how to make a bookmark on a browser you’re not using, or you might even get a tutorial on how to make a real bookmark.

    Searching “how to adjust mouse sensitivity in Linux” won’t get you very far. It would be best to search for the desktop environment you’re using.

    PopOS uses the gnome desktop environment. A desktop environment is in charge of most settings you’ll want to modify initially. Toolbar, resolution, shortcuts, etc.

    Searching for things along those lines, ending the search term with “in gnome” or “in PopOS” will direct you to better results.
