    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?

          I ended up giving up on it after first spending 2 hours trying to learn to set up ProtonVPN (it turned out the info I was missing was that there is missing an actual download button on their site, had to accidentally find a download for ProtonVPN via a Reddit where someone else complained, then use command line a few times to actually get it working. This after how-to videos and other message boards led me nowhere). Then spending a few more trying to learn things about my NAS I couldn’t figure out, so I could try to connect it to Kubuntu and have it mount automatically. It was overwhelming, I gave up pretty fast. Nobody has time for this. I’m probably done with Linux forever. Kubuntu’s not half bad though, but Linux sure is.

            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.
