Ahh the fun of installing #Linux. My laptop had a free NVME SSD slot, so I ordered a Crucial 1TB to boot Linux from. I'm gonna keep Windows 10 on the other SSD for now and dual boot.

CachyOS refused to work, despite all my troubleshooting attempts. Looks like #PopOS it is!

Cachy works fine on the AMD T14 Thinkpad, but it doesn't like my Nvidia based HP Omen.
#PopOS is kinda ugly? Maybe it's Gnome? Gonna have to try a different DE.
@68000 It’s gnome. With their (the distro maintainer’s) own shell. I’m much more satisfied with KDE, although used GNOME for years.
