Pop is so boring (in a good way) - eviltoast

I’ve been using Pop!_OS (and only it) for about 3 years now because Windows messed itself up on one of my laptops and I didn’t feel like reinstalling it. During those 3 years, Nvidia on my two laptops has “just worked” with absolutely zero broken upgrades I can remember. I’m not trying to install a bunch of GNOME plugins to make it usable because that’s already said and done out of the box. There are zero annoying things running in the background sucking up all my processor time. So, overall, I haven’t snoozed more from a Linux distro, in contrast to trying to set up Arch on one of my SBCs.

Because of that, Pop will be the ONLY thing I’m installing on my computers for the foreseeable future. :) I wish all Linux distros were as boring as this.

    Thanks for this post. I exactly feel the same. It is so boring that some months ago, I played around with some other distros, simply because Pop!_OS ist the first distro I am using since switching from Mac and I was not sure what I am missing… Long story short: I deleted all other distros, now nowing, how genious many desicions of the Pop!_OS team are (especially the Gnome/X11 decision for fractual scaling) and how good it is working out of the box while looking modern in the same time (in contrary to KDE where you probably need weeks to make it nice).
