About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows). It has been ok, but it seems like every time I try to install something I run into problems. The app has the wrong permissions or I don’t have the right packages or I need to change port settings ect… I was expecting a learning curve but I wanted to know if this is something I should expect to be a long term issue or if I will aquire the skills to side step stuff like this over time?

Update* I got it working. Last night I reinstalled it and figured it out. Two issues. On initial install I failed to update one of the packages needed. I also assigned the service to a group without the required permissions. On reinstall I rectified both of these issues and it works flawlessly. Thanks all for your help and input (and ignoring typos in the title)!

    Recently I installed POPOS! and it comes with popshop app store. Its bit laggy especially on startup, but installations are like search -> press install button -> done. Its so freaking simple and intuitive

    Im also new in desktop linux and still didnt decide what is my main OS, but POP OS made me not look further. Didnt try gaming yet tho
