Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven’t looked back.

    Pop_OS really gets less love than it deserves. imo it should replace Mint as the standard go-to recc.

      Hard to recommend a distro that hasn’t seen a new release in over 3 years.

          Tried the iso in a VM, gnome is still very much on version 42. They obviously abandoned shop to focus all their resources on their shiny new DE.

            They also stay pretty current with the kernel and many other packages. Their new DE is hopefully going to be good. They are trying to make a better gnomish experience. We’ll see.

              I guess that’s better than nothing, that doesn’t make it a rolling release though. It’s an unstable point release that got half-stuck in the past until they get their cosmic shit together.

      I used to run Pop, but then updates stopped working. I reinstalled, but the problem was still there. With no fix in weeks, I switched to Mint and no problems so far.

        That’s interesting. I have run Pop_OS! since around 2021 and I’ve had very few issues.
