I have an older i7 circa 2009, 16 gigs ram, and a gtx1060 with an ssd for os. I'm thinking either Pop!_Os or Nobara? Idea's, what do yall think?

I'm more inclined to say Pop but that's only because it's more established but either should be fine.

I settled on Pop, the other distro was giving me wifi problems and I didn't feel like going up and down stairs. Pop works great out the box.

I guess it depends on what you want.

I'd go with something with a lot of support like Ubuntu if you're new to Linux.

Why do you want to switch if everything is working out for you with pop-os?

[–] Pixlbabble@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well I'm not atm because I really like the setup at the moment, but I was hoping it was a known quick fix just in case I feel like hopping on something else for whatever future reason. That being said I am pretty happy with my pop experience.
