This week I’ve installed Pop!_OS on the four Linux-powered devices in our home — namely, my laptop, desktop, my son’s laptop, and the family PC. Pop!_OS is a derivative of Ubuntu made by System76 and, so far, I’ve found it to be excellent. Previously I was using elementaryOS which seems to have lost its way a little bit recently.

Hi, Doug. Just curious: What made you switch away from elementaryOS? I’ve been keeping it on my radar but not really using it lately.

Three reasons I guess:
I try out new Linux distros on a reasonably regular basis.
I’d heard good things about Pop!_OS from people I respect.
There are some annoying things about elementaryOS related to stuff like fractional scaling on HiDPI screens and connecting USB devices in the standard file manager.
