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"?

From what I read, Mint is better for lower-end PC specs, but otherwise, I'd strongly recommend PopOS.

I see. I'll look into it, thanks.
