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,
- Libreoffice documents freezing while saving
- 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
- Sometimes the laptop stays on the PopOS screen for a longer time than usual while powering down the laptop.
- (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.
- Some of my updates are refusing to go through and update within the system.
- 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.
I’d recomed giving Fedora a shot. Fedora + Niri / Noctalia is my daily driver now. But Fedora KDE is great on its own.
