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:
    1. I try out new Linux distros on a reasonably regular basis.
    2. I’d heard good things about Pop!_OS from people I respect.
    3. 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.
