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.

    Yeah, this is a thing. Make sure you have a recovery usb key handy, and you’ll need to follow the POP os bootloader recovery document.

    So if Linux just ‘disappears’ after a windows update, don’t fear, just do the bootloader recovery process.
