    I recently switched to PopOS! And it’s been great. Not being pressured into Microsoft applications and using your Microsoft account is great

        I didn’t like the name, but it was a nice option for Nvidia laptops esp. from System76.

        I ended up replacing it with Ubuntu; but I can’t remember exactly why. I normally use Debian.

          It just makes me laugh because they have a “!” At the end of their name. It just looks kinda goofy, kinda like when influencers have sponsored posts and they include the “™” in their copy haha

          That being said, PopOS! is actually a great os.

        That’s about as ‘judging a book by it’s cover’ as it gets.

        Ultimately OP isn’t trying to sell it to you, they’re just saying that for them, they’ve been happy with it.

        And hey, if you choose your distros based on their name, I’d like to see you sell that idea.

        Linux mint is another really good windows refugee friendly distro. And if you want a gaming COVID one then bazzite is the one to go for (it’s basically steam OS, but there’s a full fledged desktop version too)
