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

    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

    I wouldn't recommend Pop!_OS at the moment. They just added their new desktop environment (COSMIC) and there's a lot of bugs.

    Also, if you're wanting to play newer games that need driver updates you may have to wait due to the slow update cycle of distros based on Debian/Ubuntu
