Pop!_OS KDE

I know. I sound hopeless, but maybe not! I have always liked KDE, but couldn't get it to play nice with Nvidia. That's changed! I found a couple of websites that have helped me get KDE on Pop!_OS, and here's what I learned...

1. Follow directions!
2. Read through the directions a couple of times to make sure you understand what you're doing.
3. Have a Live Linux Thumb drive ready just in case!
4. If I were to do this again, I'd only install KDE Standard instead of KDE Full, but that's just me!
5. When fixing the jitteriness and slight lag time using the listed URL below, test each tweak to see if it's working. You might not have to go through the whole thing.
6. In the Buttery Smooth tweak section, it talks about switching OpenGL from 2 to 3. In the latest KDE, you can't. The third page link below explains why.
7. I wish I had installed Windows 10 on my little SSD drive, and then installed Pop!_OS on my NVMe SSD. Hm. Maybe I'll clone and try to move them around. Nothing like confusing the boot loaders, eh?

On a positive note, if you love KDE and you love Pop!_OS, then you can have your cake and eat it, too.

On that note; Remember our Words of Wisdom:

Don't drive drunk!
Don't drink and drive"
Don't got to eBay, Amazon, or use MS Edge Shopping all buzzed up because you think you're going to get the latest and coolest stuff...You're probably not.

In the meantime, Bottoms Up & Later Dudes!
