Linux mint user here.

Sound works even better then windows, Printers needed terminal work to install, but forums were very helpful. https://safereddit.com/r/linux/comments/rpgn28/my_grandma_called_and_thanked_me_for_installing/

Thanks for trying linux!

I don't use pop os or gnome personally and I'm not part of any cult or whatever.

I found a accessibility setting that changes stuff to be white but I don't think I got what you wanted 🥀

I know kde plasma has a white general look, and can be themed much more than gnome in pop os seems to be.

it also has 3 finger click in its setting under the touchpad option

Also, try Fedora 39 kde spin https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/ I mention this because fedora has the new linux tech in it so your laptop might behave better with this os.

Oh, thank god. Plasma looks good for me. Easy to look at and professional. Assuming I understand how it works, which popular distros can use Plasma? Update: After some quick research, I think I want to use Kubuntu? Does that sound like a good idea?

Sounds good to me, never used kubuntu myself though.

Usually I just go to the appstore on linux mint, kubuntu has a appstore called discover as for setting up a network drive, I have no idea so I asked meta.ai

Open the File Manager (Dolphin)
Click on Network in the left sidebar
Click on Add Network Folder
Select the type of network share (e.g., SMB/CIFS, NFS, etc.)
Enter the network drive's address (e.g., smb://username@server_ip_address/share_name)
Authenticate with your username and password (if required)
Click Add to mount the network drive

Honestly, tell me if asking AI helps you at all, because I got no idea if it's hallucinating how it should be done.
