What do you think of a PopOS, sort of leaning there just based on statistics
It is based on Ubuntu, so I expect it to be easy to use, I don’t know if it uses Snaps nor not, if it does, I would avoid it.
It feels pretty Mac, if that’s your jam
Sorta is
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS sounds like your best starting OS.
PopOS is very old I would recommend against it to anyone not already stuck with it.
PopOS was only initially released in 2017, making it one of the newer distributions. It is actively developed and really pushing the needle in the community. It is a great option. Don’t know what distro you’re actually thinking of, but it isn’t Pop.
Let me explain, the current version of pop is based on the 22.04 branch of Ubuntu. They’ve been in dev hell trying to update to the 24.04 branch.
As a consequence it doesn’t have full support of more modern hardware and you can run into libc issues trying to run precompiled binaries.
Fair enough, but assuming you’re using any of several package managers, seems like libc shouldn’t be an issue. Nevertheless, I clearly misunderstood you. Anyway, alpha 7 for 24.04 is out now.
