I have no experience with Linux, but I’d like to give it a try. I’m looking at the System76 Meerkat and Thelio with the Pop!_OS option.

I don’t see myself gaming on it because I have a Windows machine for just that. I’d mostly be using it for learning Linux and doing basic things like web surfing and word processing (Libreoffice perhaps).

Any recommendations or advice? Thanks!

    We have a 30 day return policy, so if you don’t like the Linux experience, you can return it for a refund. Customers have access to free customer support that can help with any issues you encounter. This is also an official community, so I may answer questions asked about Pop!_OS here.

    We do make an effort to make Pop!_OS viable as a first-time Linux experience. The system defaults are already optimized for desktop performance, packages for hardware support are installed by default, and various changes have been made to GNOME to improve UX. Such as the system76-power service which provides toggles for hybrid graphics laptops, and battery profiles.
