I’ve been using Linux on and off for about 15 years, but was never able to make the leap to using it full-time until PopOS. It’s been painless to use and does everything I need with only minor tweaks. Thank you System76! I can’t wait until the Cosmic DE is released.

(too bad about the name, though…)

    Have you tried dual booting, and trying to switch?

    I set up a dual boot with Windows 10 and Mint on my PC. I found that I was sticking with Windows because it was what I knew, but then an update broke the Windows boot files.

    The usual repairs didn’t work, so I started using Mint full time while I was looking for solutions that didn’t just want me to reinstall. I realised after the first few days that I wasn’t missing much from Windows, and it was just the Windows only software like Photoshop that was holding me back. I’m looking into switching the last few things over now so that I can go to Mint full time 👍

      Not a bad idea. I might do this on my laptop (I have a desktop too for main gaming). My laptop has a dual screen too, so if I try this, I will report back on the experience.
