Hello everybody, I’m here again because I got a new Asus Tuf a16 and I can’t stand anymore Windows. Since I switched to linux Windows feels like a disease and I don’t want to see it or use it. This laptop has a i7 13000 and an rtx 4050. Which distro should I use? I would like to try Pop Os, I have Mint on other machines. Thank you again because this community has helped me so many times before.

    Try Pop. They just put Cosmic into Beta and updated the OS so now would be a great time to give it a shot. Or just load up a bunch of distro live isos on like a thumb drive or external drive and try them all and see which one you like the best. There’s zero harm in distro hopping and you should never feel like you need to lock yourself down to one distro for months or years on end. I myself distro hop all the time when I want to switch up my linux experience. good way to learn them all too. I’ll bounce around from Arch to Fedora back to Arch then to NixOS over to Void or whatever I want. I run NixOS on my main machine, have CachyOS/Arch on another and my server is Ubuntu. And all that will change soon as I want to go and try out one of the new KDE distros or something completely different.
