Here we go! Congrats to the System76 team!

I’ve used it in a VM just to mess around. I’d like to install it on an old ThinkPad and try to compile some applications.

My experience has been that LibreOffice will not correctly render my .csv files when they are above a certain size. Not talking about big data here either like a few thousand rows. For this reason I use OnlyOffice instead.

Pop!_OS runs great on my intel MBP.

I wish I could get over the learning curve with GIMP but tbh my current workflow involves a windows 10 virtual machine for Photoshop. It works for my needs without GPU pass through.

I’m using Evolution as I prefer their interface. I’m curious to give the new Thunderbird a try when there’s a flatpak.

+1 for Brother. Works great printing from Linux.

FreeTube is great for downloading YouTube content to Jellyfin so my daughter can watch it without ads.

I’ve used NetSurf a bit on low spec machines.

Do you really need to dual boot for office?

I’m doing fine compatibility wise with the OnlyOffice flatpak. If you have a school account with Microsoft perhaps the PWA for Word, etc. will meet your needs.

For a laptop distro with a good tiling DE out of the box you might enjoy Pop!_OS.
