Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any other distros I should be looking at, and does somebody have a link for a comprehensive guide to installing? I’m looking to continue running windows on the side until such a time as I am comfortable enough with linux that I don’t need it.

    I have a KDE desktop environment and it’s very attractive, and I haven’t had any glitches beyond issues with Flatpak (VLC being a recent one that I managed to fix).

    …and how much GNOME / GTK are you pulling into that KDE because of app dependencies. I like Flatpak but it even makes this issue worse, from the theme mismatch (that can’t always be easily fixed) to effectively loading a LOT of GNOME components with those apps everything happens. I don’t see a point in using KDE if then you’re essentially running a LOT of apps that will depend on GNOME/GKT components.

    Also, c’mon this isn’t KDE sidebar isn’t right:
