    Every generation has this moment, where they learn to hate Microsoft (or Micro$oft). Then, 4% install Linux, 6% buy a Mac with half the RAM for twice the price; and everyone else to keeps complaining.

        That was the status quo when I tried Linux ~5 years ago. Nowadays, Linux is much more plug and play (and I’m specifically referring to Pop OS).

          Cool, but didn’t everyone tell me I should use Mint, for a bunch of reasons including “it’s arguably the most beginner-friendly”?

            Thanks for trying linux!

            I don’t use pop os or gnome personally and I’m not part of any cult or whatever.

            I found a accessibility setting that changes stuff to be white but I don’t think I got what you wanted 🥀

            I know kde plasma has a white general look, and can be themed much more than gnome in pop os seems to be.

            it also has 3 finger click in its setting under the touchpad option

            Also, try Fedora 39 kde spin https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/ I mention this because fedora has the new linux tech in it so your laptop might behave better with this os.

              Oh, thank god. Plasma looks good for me. Easy to look at and professional. Assuming I understand how it works, which popular distros can use Plasma? Update: After some quick research, I think I want to use Kubuntu? Does that sound like a good idea?

                    Usually I just go to the appstore on linux mint, kubuntu has a appstore called discover as for setting up a network drive, I have no idea so I asked meta.ai

                    Open the File Manager (Dolphin)
                    Click on Network in the left sidebar
                    Click on Add Network Folder
                    Select the type of network share (e.g., SMB/CIFS, NFS, etc.)
                    Enter the network drive's address (e.g., smb://username@server_ip_address/share_name)
                    Authenticate with your username and password (if required)
                    Click Add to mount the network drive
                    

                    Honestly, tell me if asking AI helps you at all, because I got no idea if it’s hallucinating how it should be done.
