I'd love ubuntu, my only real problem with it is it's owned by a company and not community backed
Try Pop!_OS if you love Ubuntu
Isn't Pop OS just System76's spin on Ubuntu?
Technically, yeah. However, Pop isn't their product, their hardware is.
They do their absolute best to create great software like coreboot and Pop and keep it all truly open source. They also innovate the space with things like COSMIC DE (which imo is phenomenal already, even in its early alpha state).
They only offer software support and help for customers of their hardware but that seems reasonable to me. The community is big and helpful so it makes sense for S76 to refer non-customers there.
I've been using Pop as a daily driver for more than 3 years now and a few months ago, I started to think about switching. Until recently, it was stuck on 22.04 with no clear indicator as to when 24.04 would be released. I decide that I was gonna wait for October and if i still felt that way, I was gonna switch. As of today, I haven't switched and since the first alpha release of COSMIC and the recent alpha release of Pop 24.04, I've never even thought about it.
24.04 is fast, stable and works incredibly well with COSMIC. COSMIC is insane for productivity and has fixed almost all UX gripes I've ever had with GNOME and KDE. It's truly amazing and a must-try imo.
Personally I have no issues with a corporate backed distro. My point is that if someone doesn't want a corporate owned distro, PopOS doesn't fit the bill.
Well, yeah. If your requirement is "no corporate", then Pop doesn't fit. However, if you don't want to use Ubuntu because it's a product of Canonical, I would still go ahead and recommend Pop, since it's A) not by Canonical and B) a wholly different kind of corporate backing
The initial comment said that they didn't like that Ubuntu is owned by a company.
It's fedora instead of debian, but uses a very tuned version of gnome. I personally didn't like a few things, I'm a debian man, I love the simplicity and stability. The older I get, the more I appreciate spartan things.
Really? When did they make the switch?
Ignore me, seems like I'm wrong, is based on Ubuntu. This was a weird Mandela effect
How is it with NVIDIA gaming?
The best from what I've heard, except bazzite maybe
Really? Bazzite is that one that looks like steam OS I believe yes?
I think you can also use it as a normal desktop but it does look like steamos
my first linux distro was pop os, and i had nvdia then, i did not even know nvdia had problems on linux. its that good.
It's the only distro I've liked for the last 2 years.
