I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro, got 16GB RAM but still a spinning hard drive. How does it compare to Pop!_OS?
Get an SSD. Makes a massive difference
I've ran both pop_os and nixos on the same laptop, albeit a newer laptop, and they felt the same to me performance wise. My experience is that if they're using the same kernel, same init system, same desktop env, etc they'll prob feel the same
I guess PopOS performs like vanilla mint or like Ubuntu. NixOS feels very snappy even on Gnome on a 8gb machine from bloody 2012
Would you like the point some differences like inteface (UI-UX), driver support, features, performance etc?
