Finally using Linux full-time thanks to PopOS - eviltoast

I’ve been using Linux on and off for about 15 years, but was never able to make the leap to using it full-time until PopOS. It’s been painless to use and does everything I need with only minor tweaks. Thank you System76! I can’t wait until the Cosmic DE is released.

(too bad about the name, though…)

    Endeavour was my second-favourite during my last test drive of various distros but I had some reservations about using an Arch-based distro for my work machine compared to the generally more stable Debian/Ubuntu. I’m also not sure I can live without the PopOS window tiling feature.

      I use KDE with EOS and I’d argue that the tiling is better. Super+t opens your tiling layout, you can split your desktop up into a preferred format, split up any way you like, shift+click and drag to pop windows into the tile spaces. I’m sure there’s other hot keys for it I haven’t bothered to learn yet. Pull up a video on it sometime.

          No. EOS is short form for EndeavourOS. The tiling is not a function of a distro, but a function of the desktop environment running over the distro, in my case KDE Plasma, which has the excellent tiling system I referenced in my prior comment.
