First Time Installing a Linux Distro on my HP Omen 15t, Any Help is Greatly Appreciated!

[litch12]

Hello every! Like many, Im getting sick of the BS from Windows and would like to try out Pop!_OS.

However, I'm not sure if Pop!_OS will install and run fine with my HP Omen 15t-dh000 CTO. I'd like to know if there's a way I could check if the drivers will be fine, will I have performance loss etc.? Since I like to game, it's super important to me that it runs well (keeping my fingers crossed). I'm not super tech-savvy but can follow guides well. So, if you have any guides to show a newbie like me how to check/ test this out on my laptop, I'll greatly appreciate it!

In addition, I was wondering if modding games on Pop!_OS is possible? I love Bethesda games a lot (eg. Fallout 3 and NEw Vegas) and would like to throw on a lot of mods on those. I'm not sure if there'll be a huge difference in modding them on Linux vs Windows? And if the steps are any different? Again, any guide or vids I can learn about this will be greatly appreciated too.
