I have never liked any of the software stores, but I recognize that a lot of people need them. The worst one is the Pop Shop that current popos ships with IMO

GNOME software is ok, Discover is just terrible, Cosmic App Store is actually fast

Pop! is a god damn enigma

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:42 PM

it always disappears halfway through an install

Pez•8/12/24, 9:42 PM

i dont actually think the stuff they do for poop os is justified by it being shipped on consumer hardware

ArtVramOP•8/12/24, 9:43 PM

For a while they did the best job of providing nvidia drivers on new installs, but all the mainstream distros do that now

ArtVramOP•8/12/24, 9:43 PM

That's why they became the 'gaming distro' for a few years

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:43 PM

I know it was a long time ago and we shouldn't relitigate that whole nightmare, but when i was first deciding on switching to linux at the start of summer, I'm sure the linus tech tips video lurking in the back of my mind was a factor in me not wanting to go pop-os

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:43 PM

even though it was like 3 years ago

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:43 PM

im sure that's been the case for others

I didn't like my time on Pop!_OS but Cosmic as a standalone DE is coming together pretty well.

Pryka•8/12/24, 9:45 PM

it wa stupid pop issue, but linus is also stupid, he read that info and still pressed Y

Pez•8/12/24, 9:45 PM

well he didn't read it then :wheeze:

Pez•8/12/24, 9:45 PM

he just regurgitated it to the camera and hit Y

Pez•8/12/24, 9:45 PM

because he's doing it for content

PPez well he didn't read it then :wheeze:

Pryka•8/12/24, 9:45 PM

then he is even more stupid

Pez•8/12/24, 9:45 PM

yes like i said lmfao

Pez•8/12/24, 9:45 PM

outside of windows stuff he is completely impotent

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:46 PM

i think it's easy to see a wall of text in an unfamiliar OS and assume that that kind of hting is just what using that OS is like

GGames Joyce even though it was like 3 years ago

j0rge•8/12/24, 9:46 PM

and they still haven't fixed their OS.

Pez•8/12/24, 9:46 PM

every single time linus comes across a linux machine he somehow drops into a TTY

j0rge•8/12/24, 9:46 PM

almost like all the distros gave up except for a handful

Pez•8/12/24, 9:46 PM

like he has parkinson's that makes you hit key combos

Pez•8/12/24, 9:46 PM

What do you mean?

I mean to be fair Linus routinely uses terrible distros lmfao

yeah because he's the village idiot lmao

the whole company had to come out and acknowledge this recently

Pez•8/12/24, 9:48 PM

how about this north korean distro!!! ha ha wow linux so powerful :o

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:49 PM

the only thing that weirded me out abou that series is that he builds PCs daily, and when you do that you take your time, do your research, etc. Using a lot of distros is similar to building your own PC where you need to research solutions to things carefully because you have the power to break things. So they could have gone in with a bit more of that mindset. But otherwise I think that kind of panicked floundering is completely fair imo

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:49 PM

Mint is good but I don't use it unless I NEED too.
