I am five seconds away from deciding to hop onto another distro because I am tired of the constant frustrations I am going through just to get anything done. I just want to search and get documents done on my laptop, but the freezing, lagging and bugs I’ve been seeing, is getting on my nerves.

For example these are the issues I’ve been running into lately,

  1. Libreoffice documents freezing while saving
  2. Flash drive not being read by the laptop, even though it’s plugged in and it shows that a flash drive is into the laptop
  3. Sometimes the laptop stays on the PopOS screen for a longer time than usual while powering down the laptop.
  4. (I’m not sure if this is a browser issue or a OS issue for this one) I’m constantly hopping from one browser to the next to get anything done or researched. Sometimes I have to turn off all of my extensions just for the browser to read on what I’m trying to search up.
  5. Some of my updates are refusing to go through and update within the system.
  6. I cant open certain emails. Like at all, it doesn’t matter what browser I use, it just reads that something is wrong and I don’t know on how to fix it (this was never an issue until updates started coming along)

For anyone asking about the specs: here it is from Best Buy. I purchased the laptop in March 2026.

    Isnt Ubuntu using AI in their programming? I really dont wanna be bothered with bugs because of it. Pop OS uses Ubuntu as well, so if im going through this cause of who know whats, i dont think i would want to try Ubuntu

      I mean Linux itself heavily uses LLMs to assist in programming.

      Also both Zorin OS and Mint are based on top of Ubuntu. So it would be the same except the distros are less used and have worse support.

      Lastly I know some people on Lemmy really loud and assume that any LLM assisted coding = bugs and bad. But in reality neither Linux itself nor Ubuntu, nor Fedora are “vibe coded”. It’s mostly LLM assisted bug finding. They’re literally finding thousands of old (pre LLM) bugs per Linux kernel release.

        Cause then you hear the LLM is used in the programming and causing the bugs, with the refusal of people fixing them or taking forever to fix them. Its hard to trust anything cause of that.
