I have no experience with Linux, but I’d like to give it a try. I’m looking at the System76 Meerkat and Thelio with the Pop!_OS option.
I don’t see myself gaming on it because I have a Windows machine for just that. I’d mostly be using it for learning Linux and doing basic things like web surfing and word processing (Libreoffice perhaps).
I've used a few different flavors of Linux, and I now use a System76 with Pop OS for work, and I'm quite happy with it. I don't feel any need to change to anything else.
