Why?

Because you talked about my computer not supporting Windows 11?? So I clarified that it does support it and came pre-installed, and I would still prefer pop_OS (i.e. not relevant, as you said).

I can’t believe your computers support Windows 11.

I don't understand why that would have to do with anything to being with, though.

Computer is new, win11 pre-installed. Would still prefer pop os.

I love winget, at least for the initial installation. No more having to search the the download and click through a gui. Just one or two commands (two if searching for the id) and done.

I have the save experience with popos

You don't even need the terminal. There is a interface to update if you are using a DE.

My brother-in-law installed Linux Mint for his parents and they are very happy with it. The only problem was downloading epubs with Adobe DRM, so I taught her how to use knock¹ in the terminal and then import the book into Calibre to upload them to her ereader.

Why should my computer not be able to supprot Windows 11?

Nice!

I work at a very small company, so there is no policy for which software to use and I would replace the one software that is Windows only if I could, even if I had to remain on Windows. The problem I have in this case is that we rely external tools that only work with this software, only on Windows. :-(

I get your point. I would asume that those who chose to remove adware and remove telemetry would also be the same group that use ad blockers.

I wish I could use Linux at work but the software used does not have any alternative (that I can use) and I can't be bothered with debloating and all that jazz. I try to keep work and private seperate instead.

I've read enough posts over at /r/sysadmin, it is always DNS.

I don't know about regular contact but they get money when you use their link to buy via gog.

Use our link when making purchases on GOG and support the project. Cool right?

Perhaps that is why the client is so good.

While Heroic is great and I love it, I would be nice to have official support from GOG.

But yes, it’s mostly a common myth that you have to shower every day

My armpits would like a word.

Perhaps because everyone always says gaming ≈ pop_OS and because of the extra Nvidia GPU drivers. ETA: I think someone in some video said it?

pop_OS is downstream Ubuntu so it should be the same experience, but I have never tried it on a touchscreen device. System76 are working on a major update (currently in alpha last I checked) and I do not know if they will remain downstream Ubuntu or do their own.

I used Ubuntu until bad because reasons. Tried multiple distros but no other DE felt quite as good until I tried pop_OS!. It is supposed to be some gaming oriented OS based on Ubuntu but I love it because of the great window management they have.
