I have a lenovo idea flex 5. Ubuntu: does not recognize touchpad, does not rotate the screen, etc. Pop Os: Everything works. Among other things, because it comes with a much more up-to-date kernel (right now 6.2). It is undoubtedly the best distro for laptops. And it not only works: it is also beautiful.

There's only one thing I don't like very much: its installer is very "invasive" and doesn't allow you to do things your way. It requires an EFI partition with a volume that they determine, which seems absurd to me.
But I love pop os! So much so that I have completely erased Windows because with Windows the Intel Iris graphics card does not work well. With Pop Os it's wonderful.

I just got the current release of Pop Os installed and I'm enjoying it so far. I like the way it feels and works. I also like the way it has support. I've run other distros that have been hit and miss on the support aspect. I also like the os better than other distros that I have used because it is easy and understandable. I like ubuntu based distros such as this the best. I enjoy using Pop Os a lot. I don't like it when there is no support for something that exists. Pop Os Rocks. Pop Os Rules. Pop Os is King. Pop Os is god.

Great distro. Works the way you would expect it to. Blue tooth, Wiifi, everything. But I uninstalled because you cannot copy older DVD archives, and the disk is encrypted so if you have a system crash and cannot reboot, a repair disk will do you no good because of everything being encrypted. Encryption is not as important to me as being able to recover lost files when and if the system crashes. You should have the option to encrypt the disk as other distros do, MINT, MXLINUX, FEDORA, etc. I really like the GNOME interface and
really didnt want to get rid of it. Maybe the dev's at POP will make a change and give you the option of NOT encrypting your disk drive should you not want to.

Specifically, the DD command would not work, no matter what I tried.
