  • You absolutely should, sounds perfect for your use case. It’s meant for gaming PCs, and as you’re starting out don’t be afraid to take advantage of the several different package managers out there (I think pop has one built-in but there are others like snap). Finding and installing programs via command line isn’t as hard as you might think either and is usually more secure/ideal. If you need something more cutting edge and are willing to dive into stuff like that I’ve had great experiences with garuda and manjaro too. There are lots of FAQ’s out there, and it can be really daunting at first but I promise it’ll be rewarding somehow. I personally love all the different free software repositories and having apps like fortune run when I start my machine- there’s something so cozy about configuring a PC to be a little fun and reflect your own personality a bit.






  • To search the AUR and add a program:

    yay (desired package) You’ll see multiple choices most likely, pick one and it’s pretty self-explanatory from there.

    To remove program: yay -R (program)

    system update/update all packages: yay -Syu

    There are a few different package management tools too like Octopi which let you directly browse the AUR by category in a GUI but I think that’s pm the basics.
