As someone deeply immersed in various creative pursuits, my PC serves as a hub for music production, software development, and gaming. Remarkably, POP!_OS seamlessly caters to all these needs with unparalleled performance, making it the ideal choice for my diverse requirements. One of the standout features for me is its custom GNOME environment. While I appreciate GNOME, its limitations sometimes hinder my workflow, such as the inability to create files or folders directly on the desktop. However, POP!_OS ingeniously addresses this drawback, providing a user-friendly interface that grants me this functionality. This subtle yet significant advantage enhances my productivity and overall experience. Looking ahead, the anticipation for version 24.04 with the Cosmic desktop is palpable. The promise of continued improvements and innovative features further solidifies my loyalty to this OS. In fact, I'm already planning to complement my computing experience by investing in a Thelio for my next desktop. Having experimented with various other distributions in the past, I can confidently attest that POP!_OS stands tall above the rest. Its user-centric design, performance-driven ethos, and seamless integration across my creative endeavors earn it a resounding perfect score of 10 stars in my review. R- Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 22.04 Rating: 9 Date: 2023-12-22 Votes: 1 Best performance and CPU scheduling OOTB from OSes Ive tested, fast startup and shutdown. Only negative might be funny name and not the best theme/ui design for now (until Cosmic gets released). It is simple and not exiting to tinker with and I have this as a positive, it is complete package and you can install it and start with your work in 15minutes. Really efficient for productivity. Of course you can tinker with it and edit it any way you want as every other Linux OS. It is Ubuntu based, so you get all the info on forums and application support. Updates are rock solid, automatic - not he bleeding edge but it works well. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 22.04 Rating: 9 Date: 2023-12-04 Votes: 2 This is a solid, innovative distribution, written for coders by coders. Those who maintain it are smart and clear-headed about what they want in a distro (I've spoken to them several times and always been impressed). If you're a programmer, or high-end user, this is an OS that gets out of your way with excellent defaults and crisp operation. Interestingly, the windows-management system adds some of the best features of i3 in a much easier-to-use setup (which can be enabled or disabled with a click or two). Despite being based on Ubuntu, snaps are not enabled by default. (Good choice!) I'm looking forward to the next version based on Ubuntu 24.04 sometime next year. Was this review helpful?
