Download Rufus.
Download Pop! OS
Create USB installer.
Install Pop! OS
There you go.
insert specific versions of missing dependencies here for whatever program you try to run
I mean sure I guess? I don't know what you're running where that happens a lot, but everything I have on my system has been as easy or easier to install as Windows.
Joking and snark aside, Linux can be as difficult or as easy to use as you want it to be.
Ah... there's your problem.
Are you serious? I can install nearly any software just by typing 'sudo apt install' and that's it. How is that difficult?
I don't have issues like that... Like ever.
The gamer variant you're talking about is Nobara.
Which is pretty good.
I switched to it about a month ago, reminds me of what Ubuntu used to be with its easy to use-ness
Honestly, there's a half dozen that are just as good as Fedora out of the box, and dozens that are just as capable once broken in.
Dude what are you talking about? Are you running something super specialized or old, wacky hardware? Trying to use Wayland with an Nvidia GPU? I'd gladly put my Pop system up against any Fedora system and I wouldn't have a hiccup.
Haha if you say so, kid.

I think you're talking about Nobara Linux.
It is? Hmm I've not had a single issue with it in years. It gets regular updates, granted it's not on the current Ubuntu version, but out of date it is not. What problems does it have?
Use what you want, but making the declaration that Fedora is the distro to go with is a stretch.
I had an issue switching away from Pop!, and it may have been a one off, but when I tried to install a different distro, and it wound up screwing up my boot partition to the point the easiest thing was just to run a live distro, pop open parted, and wipe from there before I could install a different distro.
Mostly mentioning it because it was annoying to figure out and remedy - the remedy was annoying because I only had one flash drive so I had to wipe what I wanted to install, and just wasting time regarding that.
Couldnt even shut down my pc with popos
That sounds like a you problem then.
Wow you must really struggle with basic day to day stuff then
What a bizarre flex lmao
You may as well be saying I don't know how to flush my toilet 😎
