Recently installed Pop OS. I find it much more stable than Ubuntu, especially if you install extensions and customize the GUI. Not perfect, but it works well and doesn't require a lot of fixes.
I Installed Pop!_OS on my Asus fx505dt. It has a hybrid graphics card with AMD from the ryzen 5 and a GTX 1650. Installed many Ubuntu based distro's and Pop!_OS was the first one that made everything work right from install. It works great with Pop!_OS.

As a very satisfied owner of a System76 Kudu laptop computer since August 2017 I installed Pop!_OS 18.04 and enjoy the reliability and speed of the hardware/software combination.
Thank you Jay! Awesome interview. Don't have much to add...but I have to say that since 18.04 I have not had a need to boot into my Win partition. PopOS has just made the experience a little "nicer." for me.
I have tried many times over the years to switch to Linux and kept going back to Windows after a few days because of bugs. Pop!OS was a game changer for me, installed it in my laptop and it worked like a charm out of the box. I've been using it for work as a PLC programmer for more than 2 months now with no complaints. If i could get my hands on a System 76 laptop here in Brazil i defintely would! It feels good to get rid of Windows!
i am hopping and going back and forth to Windows because of bugs in other Linux finally found this hope it will work and i don't have to work of fixing os. ♥️♥️
From what I can understand, the difference according to the video is: 1) PopOS focuses more deeply on hardware compatability (especially for nVidia graphic cards). 2) Updates are released more quickly. 3) New software versions are released based on consumer-demand, rather than stability. 4) Flatpak is about to become the default over Snaps. 5) PopOS has a seperate Recovery Partition just like MacOS and WIndows. 7) Custom kernels specifically for their hardware. 8) Rather than 6-month releases or so, they have a more rolling-release style release schedule. 9) A greater focus on Day 1 fixes. Rather than waiting for a piece of hardware to be released to fix issues, they focus on fixing issues a lot sooner. From what I've heard from others, PopOS is more stable for some people. Ironically, their greater focus on "bleeding edge" updates can make their OS be a bit more stable as fixes are available as soon as possible. In a nutshell. I'm only pretty certain that's all correct. I would also add PopOS has full disk encryption, better support for multiple screens and workspaces, and tiling.
I agree, no clone. I have just installed Pop and am so grateful. Ty for your install tutorial, with putting the partitions. Pop OS is so simple and not full of fluff, but yet capable to run IDEs for a hobbyist, like me. I remember having K and U versions, plus lite , many issues. I believe Pop is well thought out and built for user freedom. Thank You.
popOS + nvidia+ pip install anaconda = tensor on GPU or numpy array/SIMD on CPU Ubuntu + nvidia driver = login loop forever and thats the biggest difference.
Communication is important. Even if it's presented as a "development activity/change log" on their website's distribution page, it should be there. And their downloads are not newbie-friendly: "DOWNLOAD 19.10 / DOWNLOAD LTS". The website doesn't offer a minimum of information to help the users choose what fits their needs. It just assumes that the big DOWNLOAD button (defaulting to 19.10 currently) is the good choice. But there's a reason behind them maintaining two releases and that should be presented, even if only with a sentence or two. Not everyone can benefit from someone's knowledge of the Linux world, and not everyone is properly equipped to make good recommendations - especially with varying needs coming from the new comers.
I have recently installed Pop_OS as well and I am blown away by how user-friendly it is. The last time it had anything to do with Ubuntu was in 2008. And back then, the OS was extremely hard to maneuver and hardware support was really bad - at least for my devices back then. Today, that is no longer the case. I am a teacher and I have, in fact, switched over to Pop_OS completely on the laptop I use for school. It's effortless and everything works right away. Wonderful! :-) I also use it mostly on my desktop PC. I only use Windows for games and to work with a limited number of programs that I can only get for Windows... Other than that, Windows is pretty much passé for me. ^_^
At about 15:00 -- My nvidia card works out the box! But it overheats... which i haven't been able to fix. So it doesn't seem to agree with my set up.. it's a pretty common set up though. I am willing to share my diagnostic information directly to the Pop Os team
I for one have used Pop-OS and it fits nicely on my Dell XPS 15.....and my Lenoovo ThinkCentre M-93....both machines are running decent hardware and Pop-OS keep up with updates and patches really well! I dunno....if Ubuntu's not careful....they my drop a few places to this distro! I hope they jut keep getting more and more popular as the years roll on!
If you want a system that you can design however you want, install Linux. It you want someone else to make all the decisions, go with Windows or MacOS.
Would be fascinating to hear the story of how System76 was very close to using Linux Mint, instead of creating their own Linux distro to use on their systems (desktops and laptops).
Linux Mint 9.3 operating system is free and the video editing software is too. I use Kdenlive and Openshot. I can do anything I need done with these free software packages
Good interview. My big concern with application updates outside of the parent distribution repositories is that it places importance on shiny, new features above tested stability. Updating the version of individual applications may require newer libraries, and newer libraries can affect other components not readily seen without some extensive testing. Many users want stable and unchanging applications that will not change and not cause problems.
@@keyboard_g Yes, at the expense of wasteful duplication of multiple copies of system libraries packaged with each flatpak where versions are already installed by the system. And the more flatpaks that are run, the more copies of multiple versions of the same system libraries are taking up memory. All containerized applications are bloated and wasteful, its just what people are willing to tolerate for the convenience. Sloppy design.
Let me clarify you. From software distribution and packaging point of view you want your software/ application to work and it means that all the dependent library with specific version should be bundle together. We have seen whenever we release a version of a product if any dependencies not properly maintained it can be a mess. And now in the present time where storage space is not much concern flatpack is taking the right approach.
At my last job I switched over my entire distribution hub for a cannabis distribution company to POP! OS. Their CTO uses it and it worked great, the only things we couldn't do was use a really shitty scanner due to driver issues and we couldn't use ring central meetings. each one of our machines did the same workload with 5 gigabytes less RAM than Windows, and we were able to use cheap refurbished laptops and all-in-ones instead of top-of-the-line new computers. Fairly sure we didn't spend over $600 for any single machine
I went from win to mint, then to opensuse, then pop, then back to opensuse, back to mint, opensuse, ended in pop for 2 reasons, in my system pop os controls better the temps of my cpu where opensuse and mint while using less ram would sometimes put the cpu int the 40’s at idle while pop keeps it in the 30’s, second, read lots of gnome hate in comments, since I had some time in mac’s I actually prefer gnome environment, while plasma might offer more options i prefer simplicity and I believe they got it right (without pretending that is the best or perfect, at least im happy with pop os) I think that System 76 choice is not bad, it simply isn’t for everyone.
On my optimus graphics laptop Pop!_OS was the only distro that worked out of the box without much hassle, switching between GPUs was working, battery life was good etc. But the default theme is kinda boring after some time, it also seems that even after changing the theme manually some parts of the UI don't change.
Pop OS is my first and favorite. I tried Manjaro and the default desktop could be better and the UI for customizing is overwhelming. I'm sure I could make something that looks better in Manjaro if I spend time, but the thing stopping me is the menus are slow on my 2007 laptop. I have no idea why, its core 2 duo and 4gb ram with quadro graphics card. Might be a setting or driver incompatibility issue. Idk, i really wanted to love Manjaro, but Pop OS works out of the box. The default desktop is bland but at least the font, padding, and layout is better than default desktop from Manjaro. Once I learned the gnome extensions, I made it beautiful enough. I wish it had blur, but I'm hopeful gnome will improve in the future to be more like KDE. Also I love the tiles and how snappy it is compared to my windows 10 haha. I love the Super button shortcut. Can launch everything from keyboard. I initially had dock and tried to make it look like mac, then I settled on a basic windows panel. I launch everything from shortcuts so no icons except to indicate what's open so I can switch around. It's very efficient. I don't miss favorites or docks anymore.
the only problem that i have with Pop os is the battery duration! with windows 10 i can use it for 6 hours but with pop os only of 2/3 even with intel Igup and low power activated

I am from Trinidad and Tobago and the examination body for high school (Caribbean Secondary Examination Council) blatantly uses Micro$oft Office for their IT exams instead of generic wordprocessing, spreadsheet, database and presentation packages. The text books and the exam itself is based on this. This is not a special Micro$oft certification exam. This is a standardised test for 16 and 17 year olds. It's so unethical, IMHO.
Lol I just ditched windows when my windows file got to 20 gig.. wiped and have been on manjaro for a few months and it has been working great.. I am having issues with programming microcontrollers and having some issues with manjaro. .
yeah but thats exactly what pop os is, ubuntu with a custom gtk theme. like manjaro linux, it doesnt need to exist. at least when canonical jacked debians codebase they innovated it. pop and manjaro are literally just themes and an installer.
My 2015 mbp runs pop os great, runs osx great... but I secretly wish that it will die some way or another so that I can justify buying a new system76 laptop.
I love Ubuntu but i can't get it to play DVD's so i found linuxmint after that i fell in love with linuxmint it has all it's drivers out of the box. I tried pop os it look cool but i don't like the GUI style.
@@marksaliba7725 I did I did a lot of terminal commands to debug and test different ways in vlc and still won't work it only plays video files. Back when I tried ubuntu but I don't know now they might of fixed it I might look at it later to see if it works on the new ubuntu
Here’s the contradiction of Linux: Its DIY nature and open architecture are what made it dominant in the server space. (And seriously, it’s a very good thing that a certain big company basically lost out in that sector, preventing them from achieving a top-to-bottom monopoly in operating systems.) But if it is to actually break through in the consumer sector, there need to be products that offer standardized user experiences and hardware/software integration - something you could just hand to an average person, or to an elderly parent. And this gets especially important with laptops, where consumers want that integrated feeling. See: Chromebooks! (Not exactly the dream that Richard Stallman set out to create, but you can’t deny consumer preferences.) Once you realize that, it’s surprising that it took this long for a Linux hardware vendor to come out with a distribution really optimized for their own systems, and with a branded user experience but maintaining interoperability. Their longer-run project should be to further develop Pop!_OS from being not just another Ubuntu spinoff, but to achieve what Apple did with macOS: Create an operating system that really is easy for anyone to use - an average person would never even need to look at the Terminal - but with all the powerful stuff underneath the hood, for the specialists who want to use it.
my only gripe with Linux is its ability to stay stable at hi ram or cpu usage i use an: Intel core i5 8250U 8 Gigs of DDR4 ram 380 gigs of storage intel UHD 620 laptop
Lol I borked a Pop_OS install the other day by assuming the Debian upgrade process would work cleanly for it, and not realizing thag if uses systemd-boot I was kinda mad about it tbh. Why are the grub packages and Debian scripts like update-grub even present on Pop_OS? My goto distro supports both systemd-boot and grub, but it only includes packages for the one you're actually using
pxc I’d recommend using their built in upgrade tool in the settings menu. It downloads the update and you can install it later. Plus it’s not as buggy as Ubuntu’s.
dont matter how much you know about linux, or if you are a devops guy, there is always some sysadmin in your company telling you that you have to use MAC because he doesnt know linux... and just to be sure, he wont give you the root password so he can enforce his control over company hardware... who wants to cry with me?
There is absolutely no adequately functional DAW that will run on linux. The closest is Reaper, but that's beta and that ain't good enough. Gaming is close but not quite there. GIMP is not as good as Photoshop. It does a lot, but not as good. Video editing is ok, but I don't know if they have anything that you'd consider pro level, or even as good as Final Cut.
Not a Clone. Clones work to be "like" the original. Pop OS on the other hand is a COPY of ubuntu 14 with a new themed dressing. Too bad sys 76 hasn't learned from the industry, all the distros that have gone away claiming to be the next killer OS. If you pay attention, Jeremy explains the POP OS was tailored to system76 specific gear because their gear didn't support advancements in Ubuntu. This is akin to a Windows XP user hating on Microsoft because his cheap computer hardware won't support Windows 10.
None of that is true, Pop!_OS adds sizeable improvements to Ubuntu. I use this distro on two non-System76 computers and both operate exactly the same. It even delivers firmware updates to my Thinkpads.
PopOS is the only distro that works perfectly out of the box with my ThinkPad, Ubuntu runs terribly out of the box, drains all the battery in 30 minutes, freezes, it needs a lot of fixing, fedora has some problems too, so I don't see how PopOS is just a "theme dressing".
*proceeds to talk about installation issues. Yeah it’s polished I get it but you can install any of those drivers on Ubuntu. Nice graphics too 🤷🏻♂️ You act like this OS is the second coming of Christ but it’s just like getting a quarter ponder instead of a Big Mac - your still at McDonald’s.

@@marksaliba7725 I did I did a lot of terminal commands to debug and test different ways in vlc and still won't work it only plays video files. Back when I tried ubuntu but I don't know now they might of fixed it I might look at it later to see if it works on the new ubuntu
@@nate32396 yes I know I still love pop os I still use it just didn't like the default but it's fine
So far Pop and I are not get along tried to run it in virtualbox no go tried the live USB route again failed to load
Here’s the contradiction of Linux: Its DIY nature and open architecture are what made it dominant in the server space. (And seriously, it’s a very good thing that a certain big company basically lost out in that sector, preventing them from achieving a top-to-bottom monopoly in operating systems.)
But if it is to actually break through in the consumer sector, there need to be products that offer standardized user experiences and hardware/software integration - something you could just hand to an average person, or to an elderly parent. And this gets especially important with laptops, where consumers want that integrated feeling.
See: Chromebooks! (Not exactly the dream that Richard Stallman set out to create, but you can’t deny consumer preferences.)
Once you realize that, it’s surprising that it took this long for a Linux hardware vendor to come out with a distribution really optimized for their own systems, and with a branded user experience but maintaining interoperability.
Their longer-run project should be to further develop Pop!_OS from being not just another Ubuntu spinoff, but to achieve what Apple did with macOS: Create an operating system that really is easy for anyone to use - an average person would never even need to look at the Terminal - but with all the powerful stuff underneath the hood, for the specialists who want to use it.
my only gripe with Linux is its ability to stay stable at hi ram or cpu usage
i use an:
Intel core i5 8250U
8 Gigs of DDR4 ram
380 gigs of storage
intel UHD 620
laptop
Lol I borked a Pop_OS install the other day by assuming the Debian upgrade process would work cleanly for it, and not realizing thag if uses systemd-boot
I was kinda mad about it tbh. Why are the grub packages and Debian scripts like update-grub even present on Pop_OS? My goto distro supports both systemd-boot and grub, but it only includes packages for the one you're actually using
To System76's credit, the recovery partition worked beautifully at that point
pxc I’d recommend using their built in upgrade tool in the settings menu. It downloads the update and you can install it later. Plus it’s not as buggy as Ubuntu’s.
dont matter how much you know about linux, or if you are a devops guy, there is always some sysadmin in your company telling you that you have to use MAC because he doesnt know linux... and just to be sure, he wont give you the root password so he can enforce his control over company hardware... who wants to cry with me?
Which is stable fast and reliable POP OS or PEPPERMINT.
Why don't you interview Jeremy on his microkernel OS and how's that coming along, and if its still desktop headed as he promised?
There is absolutely no adequately functional DAW that will run on linux. The closest is Reaper, but that's beta and that ain't good enough. Gaming is close but not quite there. GIMP is not as good as Photoshop. It does a lot, but not as good. Video editing is ok, but I don't know if they have anything that you'd consider pro level, or even as good as Final Cut.
Have you tried Bitwig Studio? I'm not big into digital audio, but I know they offer a Linux version.
as guy above said; Bitwig is serious DAW made by ex-Ableton employees. Try it.
Nothing is a clone. If it’s similar, it’s all part of a family tree
Man, don't i wish pop os releases 22.04 based on debian instead of ubuntu.
Not a Clone. Clones work to be "like" the original. Pop OS on the other hand is a COPY of ubuntu 14 with a new themed dressing. Too bad sys 76 hasn't learned from the industry, all the distros that have gone away claiming to be the next killer OS. If you pay attention, Jeremy explains the POP OS was tailored to system76 specific gear because their gear didn't support advancements in Ubuntu. This is akin to a Windows XP user hating on Microsoft because his cheap computer hardware won't support Windows 10.
None of that is true, Pop!_OS adds sizeable improvements to Ubuntu. I use this distro on two non-System76 computers and both operate exactly the same. It even delivers firmware updates to my Thinkpads.
PopOS is the only distro that works perfectly out of the box with my ThinkPad, Ubuntu runs terribly out of the box, drains all the battery in 30 minutes, freezes, it needs a lot of fixing, fedora has some problems too, so I don't see how PopOS is just a "theme dressing".
oem installer might make sense for oem's, but for users makes no sense.
Why make a distro based off a distro you obviously have contempt for?
If pop os had aur...
The UI looks dated and needs a fresh look.
its why linux is so fragmented as it is. any asshole can spin up a distro and distribute it.
*proceeds to talk about installation issues.
Yeah it’s polished I get it but you can install any of those drivers on Ubuntu. Nice graphics too 🤷🏻♂️
You act like this OS is the second coming of Christ but it’s just like getting a quarter ponder instead of a Big Mac - your still at McDonald’s.
No. Linode is not your sponsor because of you. They are your sponsor because they said they would be.
It was my choice to agree to have them or not. I say no to a ton of sponsors.
