    So … basically Pop!_OS.

    That’s what I’m using now, and it’s what I’d recommend for most desktop users. I’ve been using Linux systems on-and-off since before kernel version 1.0: Slackware, then Debian, then Ubuntu, then Mint, then Pop.

    (Admittedly, my use cases are pretty simple: a terminal, a browser, Signal, VLC, and Steam.)

      Pretty much. Pop is my go-to recommendation for pretty much anyone these days. It’s so well polished and just easy.

          Yes, that pop os. As luck would have it, Linus installed it during a very brief period where the steam package in their repo was broken. This is not a common occurrence, and I have never heard of it happening before or since.

          This whole series triggered me so hard. They went out of their way to test it under the worst possible conditions.

          • last at night
          • setting a goal with a deadline/time constraints for first run
          • not stopping and reading or thinking, just assuming away
          • copy paste from google frsit thing that looks vagualy right
          • tunnel vission
          • not resources like Emily, ensuring they make big mistakes

          Then they follow up with hypocrisy of this shit, after going on and on about UI not being right or hard to use for the end user.
