[ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?

Jump

  • I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

    During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

    The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn't change the system until you try to install!

    It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn't even get through the installer since I also couldn't resize etc. because the partition was in use.

    Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS

    • TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

  • You think this is bad, we recently had a high profile case in the UK finally overturn a law where people who were found to have been wrongfully imprisoned had fees deducted from their compensation to pay the prison service for their food and accommodation.

    Imagine spending years of your life in prison on a false conviction and then finding out you have to pay the government for the privilege.

    • It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office.

  • What you're saying is logical but is the opposite way to how it actually works, at least in the UK but I believe elsewhere as well

  • Does it matter if those machines are an hour out for 6 months? Why not just keep them on UTC as a rule?

    • Despite being metric, Celsius is barely used with a prefix when describing temps high enough to warrant it

  • I was agreeing with you, I was referring to OP saying it isn't SI. But I think the downvotes are showing that wasn't clear enough.

    • Amazon "search through reviews" is blindly just running an AI model now
