Pop is so boring (in a good way)
Pop is so boring (in a good way)
I've been using Pop!_OS (and only it) for about 3 years now because Windows messed itself up on one of my laptops and I didn't feel like reinstalling it. During those 3 years, Nvidia on my two laptops has "just worked" with absolutely zero broken upgrades I can remember. I'm not trying to install a bunch of GNOME plugins to make it usable because that's already said and done out of the box. There are zero annoying things running in the background sucking up all my processor time. So, overall, I haven't snoozed more from a Linux distro, in contrast to trying to set up Arch on one of my SBCs.
Because of that, Pop will be the ONLY thing I'm installing on my computers for the foreseeable future. :) I wish all Linux distros were as boring as this.

It was the first distro I tried last year and after distro hopping around so much I landed back on it for my laptop.
I do like Garuda (prev installed on laptop) and Cachy OS (currently on desktop) but the incredibly simple and basic experience that is Pop OS is just so much preferable. Thankfully Cachy OS has presented far less issues than something like Manjaro for me.
But assuming COSMIC turns out to be a great desktop environment and I can get comparable stability in performance on my gaming PC - I might switch my desktop back to PopOS.
