So what are your guys thoughts on Pop OS! for the desktop.
I'm a linux user of almost 15-20 years. I'm a former Gentoo and debian user.
I'm trying Pop OS, and it's nice out of the box and requires less gnome customization off the hop. It also has the nice Tiling windows feature. This is nice since I'm constantly in terminals all day long.
Yes it's a fork of Ubuntu essentially, but as most know Ubuntu/Debian is the most supported distro when it comes to app development.
So what's your thoughts?
I have never tried it. It was not even on my radar. I have the notion it existed but not what it was about.
I like tiling window managers. They are very handy when you have two terminals open on one side and a browser on the other. That said, I don't see myself running such setup alongside a full desktop environment.
The most visual distribution I run anywhere is an MX Linux install which I use for testing. Everywhere else I run OpenBSD or Slackware with some minimalistic environment. I have been researching KISS Linux as of late which should hint everybody I am not thrilled by big graphical desktops :-)
