Why you may want to try out Linux Pop?

[polecat]

IT some ways it reminds me of like Windows XP without the issues of XP.

I have heard many times I don't use Linux because to hard or complex which in some cases could understand.

For this system it's so easy you got Pop Shop which allows you to find a many things which can be installed fast so if you not used to typing code it can do many things for you .

Loads very fast and I do like the Workstation feature a lot. for example got 20 tabs no slow down or computer crashing at all.

Decent security in built to it. IT starts with firefox installed I moved onto Brave so far and will get Chrome installed today for it

Download Pop!_OS by System76

Can run on Raspberry pi 4 if you want as well.

This statement seems lame, I regulary have 5-6 open browsers with 5-10 tabs open in each browser on my Win10 laptop and never had any problems with it, so saying that is a nerd feature statement, not real life fact.

Most of us would fall into nerd work or feature area wanting speed .

I think having fast internet for loads great I do a lot of research.

I did have problems on 10 browser tab with a Windows 10 computer.

That's just shit hardware.


My mac mini, despite being 12 years old is fine (apart from the chipset upgrade lock out) 12 programs opening thunderbird has 19 mail accounts checking every 3min, three browsers with anything from 3-19 tabs on the go, never had a problem no delay, no lag. Just does what it's supposed to.

Yes, I know and it is the wrong way of "selling" Linux on to regular users, stay with facts not some fake statements that it is more unlikely to crash hype .. I see this a lot from Linux users. Find a better way to sell it instead.

Never used it but I trust that this being built by system76 means it will be good and built from the ground up with privacy rights in mind.

They are also big in the rust ecosystem, built a couple of rust DEs of this and the main man built a completely new operating system in rust from scratch. So they know their shit when it comes to system software coding pretty well, that’s for sure.

Think system76 has done better than anyone in disabling hardware blackboxes and they make their stuff in a way do so on a way that is as user friendly as possible which you can see on their software offerings too. It’s built on ubuntu which is designed to be as user-friendly a distro as possible so this sounds like a good one to try if you want to test the waters with linux without worrying about technical knowledge and skill barriers.

It's not fake statement. Windows does crash often. When I use Linux it basically never crashed even if I use very old ones for example I got Raspberry Pi 1 from 2012 used it quite a lot times so far never crashed . I bought it was £7.

It's just suggestion if you disagree then fine

I got Amiga 500 which is like 30 years old still runs pretty fast Operation system is still important.

I like their stuff too.

Windows does crash often.

Can`t even remember when my Windows crashed last time.

Your ferret I posted said it just happened to you .

Yeah, that hungry mthrfckr ate my screen FFS.

Impossible he's a fellow Serb all good ferrets or people.

If I ever go to your area I am really tempted to land in your country in my brother ship he's in charge of then release all the ferrets from the cruise ship then make make everyone in the town or city be made to take a ferret release 200,000 of them then let the fun begin.
