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.
Superb. Minimalist friendly.
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 ;)

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!
A very good viable alternative for technical users who want o use Linux for content creation or development. For basic users is a very stable system and can become very user friendly with a few small tweaks!
Fast, stable (based on Ubuntu LTS), and everything is available without big configuration.
Pop is a fantastic OS. It is steady, is constantly updated and maintained. It has a huge amount of user-friendly customisation options. It is beautifully built for a quick leap into linux for a gamer. Been using the distro for a year or so now. I have found it, even when not gaming, is an overall really smooth experience. This is probably because it is optimised for gaming, so it can perform really well doing most tasks which take a lot of CPU.
