That's because you use your computer and it's not part of your personality. I'm reasonably well versed in Linux and I've used Pop for years.
Is pop maintained? When are they upgrading to the latest Ubuntu and supporting HDR?
It is, but they've been working on their new DE Cosmic which should be hitting beta soon.
Is it still not in beta? I was on pop in late 2023 and left for OpenSUSE TW because cosmic was taking too long and they were still on Ubuntu LTS 22.04. and Gnome Extensions broke on me.
Yeah they're on like alpha 7 I think? That sucks. I hope OpenSUSE is treating you better.
I see it's just recently been announced about the beta. Great that they're hearing up for release. I'm in support of what they're doing I think I realised that I didn't like Gnome (neither does System76 by the looks!).
OpenSUSE TW with KDE is perfect for me. Not a sexy/flashy distro but it is the most robust rolling release I've seen, and maintained by a European company that has been working on it for decades.
Particularly like the QC/staggered addition of packages and YAST.
Love me some SUSE. People forget that it is one of the OG distributions out there. Been trying Linux from time to time but only switched completely from windows earlier this year. Been messing with Fedora and SUSE way back as a teenager. Unfortunately my experience with opensuse was laggy YouTube on a complete fresh install (AMD btw) so I just switched to cachyos which didn't have any issues (sooo much better than Manjaro IMHO). Still love SUSE... And fedora. These two will always have a place in my tech heart.
Edit for typos from typing on glass.
Nice one, Fedora I've been keen to check out. it seems similar to SUSE albeit with a different package manager and no Yast. I respect a quality controlled rolling release.
How's cachyOS? I'm very wary of the AUR/Arch generally. There must be so many unmaintained packages on there.
Yast is great but I honestly don't find it all that useful nowadays. Feels to me like most of that configuration can be done through KDE anyway. Still, great piece of software, might just not fit my current needs.
CachyOS, Manjaro and endeavour OS are all Arch. The main selling point for cachy is the ease of use when installing "stuff for gaming" e.g. gfx drivers and their custom compiled kernels and software packages (basically just other builds of packages on the Arch repo) have been optimized for newer generations of CPUs. Light weight, heavily optimized, customizable. Lots of small optimizations here and there. You can do the same on Arch but I don't want to bother. I know what do to and how to, but been there done that.
Yeah TBH Yast is more of a GUI for accessing the backend settings when I can't be bothered looking up cli commands, but nice to have.
Ah, CachyOS being gaming oriented makes sense. My dream rig is a SteamOS 9070XT build so I can have quick resume on the PC. I thought Bazzite could do that game mode setting, so was considering that as the eventual next PC.
"Not a part of your personality" then "PopOS, btw"
Uh yeah it's context because Ubuntu and Pop are on the "beginner" side of there chart.
