Are there instructions for the laymen? How difficult is it to install and actually use it?
The end.
This is an important step. One time I boldly just installed without testing anything in the live session, and discovered that HDMI and Ethernet didn't work. Woops.
Yikes. Did you at least have a working display port or something?
Yeah, display port worked fine. It was when I plugged the second monitor in to HDMI I realized the problem. And then couldn't get online to search for issues.
I had to tether the desktop to my phone over USB to get a network connection.
I later installed pop!_os , tested all that stuff, and it worked out of the box.
