  • Being Linux it's hard to go wrong. There are only a few distros that need a lot of power.

    • Thanks, I'm well familiar with Linux but new to Pop_OS. I installed it on an older model Toshiba, but it was really slow. I've never tried to install on a Surface so any tips would be welcome. I've tried to boot from USB but I get errors. I'd really like to move away from Ubuntu, the OS I've used for I don't know how many years now. I just don't like the whole Snap thing.
