 Professional programmers prefer to use Linux. The open source nature of Linux grants it a high degree of security and reliability. Additionally, bash scripts provide the developer with a powerful automation tool. For this reasons I have decided to put a Linux distro on my new Vector Pro laptop from Maingear. I downloaded an ISO for Pop OS, and then used a free tool called balenaEtcher to create a bootable USB. With this USB I booted Linux on the laptop and was exploring the demo mode. However, the sound keyboard did not work. I used another tool called EaseUS Partition to repartition the USB and reformat it, then created a new boot drive with the Pop OS ISO built especially with NVIDIA drivers, since my laptop has a NVIDIA 3080 graphics card. This time the sound worked, but the keyboard still did not register! I know have a drive with Ubuntu on it, and will try to install this tomorrow.
