PopOS best distro (?)
no but you can use it anyway if you want
It's been a solid one for a long time. I haven't tried their new Cosmic based one recently, but it was always good.
Thats like asking what hammer is best. You can use most if not all to drive nails, but not all are best suited for the task.
Pop_OS lets Ubuntu drive fast and break things while focusing hardware/driver support, makes it great for video games. The only program Ive ever had issues with is Davinci Resolve, but those issues with linux compatibility are of their own creation, not the OSs.
LTT Linux challenge is surely going well for PopOS...
Sure doesn't seem like it, from my personal experience, as well as Linus of Linus Tech Tips' experiences. Doesn't mean we can't root for the company when they throw their weight behind a good cause.
LTT mentioned ACHTUNG ACHTUNG🚨
Yeah, tbf Linus hasn't had a great, or even ok experience with any Linux distro...
I would not take the case of a man clowning for views as typical.
Using pop/cosmic here, is awesome!
When my partner tried it, it simply didn't support her multiple monitors. Kubuntu just worked. Just an anecdote, of course, and I haven't had time to try it again since.
