    Windows gets worse. Linux gets better.

    Got a new gaming laptop and have been considering flipping it to popOS. Only thing holding me back is the OLED support that I’ve heard may not work

      Same here, got an OLED laptop and hesitated installing Ubuntu on it for dev work because I was afraid that the OLED maintenance tasks wouldn’t execute.

      I don’t know how to explicitly check if hardware is supported, but if you pop a live USB in and it works, then I imagine it works on the fully installed os as well

        Yeah this is a good call. I’ll give this a go. Had pop os on my old laptop and it was great. But that didn’t have a dedicated GPU or nice screen so I wasn’t concerned
