Your second link is honestly should be a sticky on a lot of communities and I try to always show people that video to illustrate how hard things are for people.

If you also live in Europe or set up your computer in the US with European English then you can also skirt some of the ads as well

The home edition of windows has these ads baked in, but the pro/enterprise editions seem to be able to avoid this for now.

I can understand and get behind this sentiment. At an old job we had iMacs and I would use Apple’s numbers program to make pixel art in the tables by coloring each cell.

From my experience and from what I remember the Open source drivers for AMD are in the Linux kernel so there is no technical “need” to install the proprietary drivers, unless you absolutely need them. If the drivers aren’t available via Pop_OS! By default or via their services ( I don’t run or use Pop) AMD has some info on it. The link for that info is here https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers

Don’t get me wrong. I love Fedora, but with the things they’ve done recently, I really don’t think what I want from an OS and RH wants are the same anymore. I’d prefer to separate from them while I have the opportunity before I’m invested to the point of staying because it’s too hard to migrate.
