Hi all, back in 2021 i switched to pop os because i am getting sick where Microsoft is going. I dont like all the spyware they put down your throat, the forced updates and reboots. I bought a msi notbook back in march 2023 and i already heard linux would not run on it. So i had to use Windows 11. I did not like it but sadly had to use it till a few months ago. I read the kernel got alot of MSI EC updates. First thing i tried is Pop OS again. It worked perfectly fine on this machine. Played my older Command & Conquer games on it and where running great too. Next install was Star Wars Jedi Survivor, this game ran like shit on windows. The galaxy map had a huge fos drop, some world had random lags. Well all these problems where gone in Pop! OS 22.04.

When i played games on Linux back in 2021 i really did not think games would run better in Linux compared to Windows. But it is really possible. I am quite happy with Pop! OS and Linux in general. I want to say thanks to the whole linux community.
