…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

    I also switched to Pop!_OS a couple days ago. I’ve only used Windows all my life and this distro made everything so easy. The Pop Store is a lifesaver.

      Between windows and mac, I enjoy the UX of mac more, and Pop!_OS feels familiar in a lot of good ways.

          I love how much you can customize whatever you want. I saw some cool setups while watching videos about distros, and I think I could get unhealthily obsessed with that if I let myself.

        I’ve only used Apple computer a handful of times, but there is a lot of elements to Pop!_OS that remind of Mac. Particularly the tiny loading circle your mouse creates after opening a window reminds me of the similar that used to come up on my elementary school old Macs.

          I just really love the persistent top bar, the floating dock, and the way you mount apps to install. It all feels so natural for some reason.

          Oh, and the search bar for finding apps/files. I’m glad Pop OS uses that too.

            As a pop os user over the past 4 years, I’m unsure what you mean about mounting apps to install them. What app is an example of that?
