Idk if it’s just me or if it’s because my PC is ancient, but it kind of feels like pop_os is kind of shit. I’m always having some issue or complaint or another with it. My laptop runs mint and I’ve had very few issues, but with pop it feels like I’m fighting the OS every step of the way, from install to daily usage.

Idk, kind of a venting question but w/e

    System76 left a really bad taste in my mouth.

    I can’t speak to Cosmic, but their existing system updater tool/app store was a crash prone pile of garbage that never got fixed for years. That’s right, the tool they shipped with was known broken open issue on github for YEARS. I know they were working on a replacement at a glacial pace that’s probably out by now, but I gave up waiting.

    Then one day I updated and the latest linux kernel just didn’t work on my S76 branded laptop. Didn’t for MONTHS.

    Maybe they’ve improved since, but I’m never giving them money again or using their software.

    I view them as incompetent.
