Developed by System76 this Ubuntu based fork provides a very clean experience. It just works with a modern minimalist design and as a Information Science person this has been huge for my productivity.
Seems like they ship unstable beta software (like their new Cosmic environment)... avoid, for now
Tested on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5 Intel Core i9-12900H, 64GB, NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti. Unfortunately, I experienced a couple of bugs with Bluetooth (the system tries to re-acquire the device every couple of minutes, so I can't connect my headphones to my smartphone - Pop!_OS just keeps re-acquiring them back). I also had issues with system apps often crashes, overall app speed is slow despite super huge amount of resources. Firstly, I installed 22.04, when I experienced those bugs I think maybe upgrade will fix them, I upgraded to 24.04-beta, but the experience with system apps became worse. As I understand problem lies in new DE, slow system apps become slower, but less crashes to be honest. List of things I was frustrated with:
Pop!_OS is a stable, customizable, and reliable Ubuntu-based distribution that aims to cater to professionals from all fields - STEM, Media Production, or the average home user. I switched over to it from Windows as my first Linux distribution, and I love it. Plus, they have their own COSMIC DE in the builds, which is exciting as well!
I wanted to like it. I believed they tuned for hardware and fixed Linux. I updated to latest PopOs!. But Linux delight not happened.
Touchpad issue, sound issues, power saving issues, monitor issues, sleep issues, UI lags issues.
And what is bad. I cannot fix that using some well known guides or known desktop of Plasma/Gnome 4. Because they modified it.
I plan to erase PopOs! on weekend.
I was trying some distros before, but PopOS was the one I decided to go full single-boot with my daily experience. I never had problems with drivers - everything worked for me out of the box, but of course it depends of ones hardware specs. I am also very pleased by customization options - and good for learning, because of nice documentation and friendly community. Oh, and simple window tiling - very handy, great option!
I dislike pop os, it's somewhat bloated and despite being called user friendly basic functions like deleting an app are very hard.
What you mean by "deleting an app is very hard"? I have never encountered any problems with deleting an app on that OS, but maybe I was doing something wrong ;)
