Pop!_OS is switching to yearly releases. Here's why that's fine.

[@jonathancadle1261]

This is easily my favorite Linux channel, even when the videos are things I already kinda know, because Veronica never does clickbait titles and is generally calm and reasonable.

[@VeronicaExplains]

Awwww, thank you!!!! That's literally the goal!

[@stevenwolf8697]

“Generally calm and reasonable” 🤣 Made me laugh for some reason I can’t explain..

[@theindependentlinuxuser]

@@VeronicaExplains According to Merriam Webster dictionary: gnome noun (2) Definition of gnome (Entry 2 of 2) 1 : an ageless and often deformed dwarf of folklore who lives in the earth and usually guards treasure 2 : an elemental being in the theory of Paracelsus that inhabits earth But according to Linux Users: GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment, pronounced gah-NOHM) is a graphical user interface (GUI) and set of computer desktop applications for users of the Linux operating system.🤣🤣🤣

First video I watched of Veronica and had to subscribe. Great content and the dry humor are great!

[@thatjpwing]

We need more folks like you in the Linux community. A completely rational, calm video explaining what's going on with Pop_OS. Awesomeness. And as an aside, I've been pronouncing it "guh-nome" since the days of Ximian Gnome... 2000ish? Rock on.

[@radical_ans]

Just installed Pop_OS on my main desktop. In the process of giving it a proper go. I was pleasantly surprised that the NVIDIA drivers worked quite well and I was able to play Elden Ring w/ Proton with no issues. Now that Linux gaming is a real thing I may make the switch permanently.

[@deusexaethera]

It works just as well on Ubuntu proper. Probably not a good idea to use a distro based on a distro based on a distro -- you're too far removed from the source at that point.

[@colbyboucher6391]

Don't listen to Shawn here. Actually, Canonical has sort of abandoned Ubuntu desktop support. They realized it's not the best way for them to make bank. Going with something like PopOS backed by a company with every reason to support desktop users is a much smarter move.

[@RedSntDK]

@@deusexaethera Reasonable concern, but Pop!_OS very much has gaming in mind.

[@GodotWorld]

@@RedSntDK It's interesting, Pop didn't work for me a couple of years ago when I tried it on my System76 laptop. I can't remember what game was giving me an issue, but Ubuntu worked fine. My daughter has a refurb windows machine that I put Pop on when she fudged up the Windows OS and she has no issues with gaming. Her only problem is the machine doesn't wake up from when the lid is closed... And I'm too lazy to look at it. I'll probably be giving Pop another chance when I have some time to mess around.

[@bigbay1159]

@@deusexaethera God the amount this statement is inaccurate...

[@liss_up]

System76 isn't canonical. They don't have a history of bad decisions (at least not as of yet). If System76 says this is needed, I'm willing to trust them for now. They make a good product!

[@guildpilotone]

I've been usung Pop!_OS for almost 2 years now. Honestly, when I read about the update plans it never occurred to me to switch distros. I like it as my daily driver and their developers clearly know what they are doing. I recall the complaints some people have had about the lag between the releases of Ubuntu and the subsequent Pop!_OS releases. "Patience is a virtue" definitely applies here. When it comes to Cosmic/Rust I prefer done right to done fast, especially with Kernel changes relating to Rust in the pipeline.

[@rikerlinux]

Hi, I just found your channel through a comment from a subscriber in a video of mine, I'm from Brazil, great job!

[@PhilipOlesen]

Nice job on being ahead of the gnome pronunciation questions, lol. Though I'm a wm user, I look forward to seeing what they come up with. DWM is nice, and bspwm is surprisingly cosy.

[@captainharlock31]

It's good to hear that. I''m a distro hopper and I thought I found Pop!_OS as my ultimate distro. I used Mint because of its less resource consumption. But using Pop I feel more comfortable. I'm going to build my main machine I hope to base it on Pop. I found your channel recently. Damn, you're doing great job :D

[@Redmage913]

I was surprised with how immediately pleased I was with Pop OS. It’s my first Linux distro that sets up a recovery partition. It saved my butt over the holidays, when I wrecked my desktop trying to remove pop desktop and install KDE at a house with terrible Internet. I now know, don’t nuke pop desktop if installing a second DE, and don’t switch from the default display manager, unique to Pop OS but I haven’t researched why. I booted up the recovery partition, and since I keep /home separate, I had my environment back up in ten minutes with my profile intact. No flash drives, no waiting for a fresh ISO, and the fastest system recovery I’ve ever had. It isn’t perfect - I did have to set back up a mount point in fstab for my secondary drive and set ZRAM back up, but I’d rather have to do that over the system making a bad assumption that existing files were OK and failing the restore process as a result.

[@kylesa_mara]

[@adamcheck4941]

I like System 76 because although it might be expensive it's a quality American brand that specializes in Linux and doesn't whore itself out to Microsoft, and makes its machines in Colorado; while everyone else cheats by cutting out the workforce and makes their products in Chinese sweatshops.

[@esra_erimez]

1:33 I'm not sure if you were intentionally doing an impression of "Technology Connections" but you nailed it perfectly!

[@sjambler]

Another great video. I'm thinking of switching from Mint to Pop!_OS as my main distro. If I need the latest software, Flatpaks are fine (plus the odd Appimage), so I'm not worried that there will be no 22.10 release. I wish the Pop Shop did a better job of distinguishing between Debs and Flatpaks, but I'm okay with the command line for installing the latter.

[@baronpadraigharkonnen6748]

Ive been using linux as my main and laptop OS for a few years now. Your vids have taught me alot and I thank you for that. Ive recently distro hopped out of oblivion and on to Pop OS. And with some tweaking im very happy with the OS overall and will gladly wait till System76 comes out with a new update. Thnx again for all the vids and keep up the good work Veronica. o7

[@TheCodeTinkerer]

Great content you don't see anywhere else. I really like the straight forward direct communication with a lot of attitudes/opinions with facts backing them up in a sort of "argggh tone". From my experience these are the traits of "true professional linux users". Note: I personally use: Private use: POP OS Enterprise use: RHEL 8/9

[@Falcon0366]

Thank you for the PopOS coverage! I'd love to see a video about single GPU VM passthrough on Pop, I've been really struggling with this.

[@tuxpowerpc]

I would be less concerned about Pop rebuilding their base than Gnome's direction. Also, if System 76 does the same stellar job with their new Distro as they have with the current and their hardware, I am rather excited to see what they do. Of course there will be bumps as in all things new, but I have no doubt they'll have a plan to succeed.

[@colbyboucher6391]

I think this is a very SMART move for them. With a yearly update schedule, you won't get nonsense like what LTT went through when Linus tried using Pop. It's a great distrob for people want things to just work, and the quick, sometimes slightly buggy releases only got in the way of that.

[@andromydous]

I stopped distro hopping when I landed on PopOS and I've been happy ever since. While I am a little concerned about their release cycle changing to yearly, I am certain that any important system updates will still be released. Also, like you said, most of my apps are through flatpak. Except Steam, because I can't seem to get the flatpak version to work properly. So, for now I'm sticking with PopOS.

[@huljaxful]

I used to distrohop a lot. Always going back to linux mint. But then pop!os really got me hooked on windows tilling and everything. I think building your own de is a way to go. That's why i love cinnamon that much. System76 knows what they are doing, i have complete faith.

[@brostoevsky22]

The two best Ubuntu based distros...

[@gorak9000]

If you learn to install whatever window manager you want from base packages, there's basically no reason to distrohop. Pretty much the main differentiator of distros is what display manager they come with out of the box (and their theme). Just install a base distro like Debian, and then install whatever window manager you want on top of it.

[@ScottSteubing]

Being a Linux Mint user, which only gets major updates every two years, I don't have any issues at all with Pop!_OS skipping 22.10. But given the sheer number of desktop environments we already have for Linux, not to mention stand-alone window managers, I wish System76 would focus on making their System76 tools DE (and distro) agnostic instead of marrying them to GNOME or COSMIC.

[@Wandering_Horse]

Recent Pop_OS migrant and have been quite pleased so far. Not concerned about System76 skipping an interim upgrade. I am more interested in a new and unique desktop environment. I too like the tiling feature and have accepted the 'guh-nome' desktop after years on xfce. Thanks for another great video! :)

[@bobbinatorrah67]

Thank you! I’m definitely a fan and user of PopOS, and my next laptop (this year) will be a System76 one. I just don’t have a ton of time to manage my OS and too many issues, and PopOS has been perfect for me.

I like pop as my pick for distro. I am somewhat indifferent about it all. I didn't really care about intermediate releases when I used Ubuntu. I also feel quite comfortable in Gnome, but I am excited to try a new DE when it ships.

[@BtZealot]

Considering the insistence of Ubuntu on Snaps, would you like to see the 76 team's next project be to go to a Debian base, or will they try to create something from scratch?

[@VeronicaExplains]

Doesn’t matter much to me. Pop!_OS has done a pretty good job of keeping things snap-free, which I tend to prefer on the desktop. I’m not sure what the gain would be for them rebasing against Debian, but if they decided it was the right move for their team, I’d be on board.

Couldn't agree more, happy to wait for Pop!_OS 23.04 with a Rust based desktop. Love seeing the Model M being used, I do too and really enjoy it.

[@geekverve]

Love your videos. As a Windows user who has tried several times to switch to full-time linux (including a stint with Pop_OS), what makes me nervous is that the current version of their distro isn't quite mature and stable enough to keep me away from Windows, so my confidence level in such a big change isn't particularly high. I'll be interested to see how it works out.

[@lunsj]

You are so much better at explaining things than I am. My response to "Why do you say Guh-nome?" is "BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU F*&y(%% SAY IT!"

been pronouncing G-nome since 2.4 and proud of it! I've been using rolling distros for the most of my linux journey but recently decided that I want a system that is low maintenance, works out of the box and gets out of the way. Being a bit of the rust-stan and reading about direction they're taking decided to give pop a try and have to say It's amazing. Having an option of tiling workspace without the need of manually configuring a wm is a killer feature (and option to disable when not needed) As for their release cycle... if it ain't broken, don't need to fix it great video, keep 'em coming :)

[@slembcke]

I'm interested to see where Cosmic goes after growing a bit from it's Gnome extension roots. The current version feels a bit rough to me, but that's OK because it's literally a 1.0 after all. I also really like where Gnome 4x is going, and that kinda seemed like it was a catalyst for Cosmic. Aurgh! I wish the two orgs could get along better, but the hardest problems in technology always seem to be people problems, not technical ones. I've also been trying out the Fedora 37 beta for a few weeks, and that's been just fine. So whatever happens there will be a bunch of fine options to choose from suppose.

[@АлексейГриднев-и7р]

GNOME developers have been known as extremely toxic and, I would say, even authoritarian. They want it to be their way or no way, intentionally killing off more and more possibilities for customization and even trying to force the developers of other open source projects to follow their guidelines even though it's none of their business (as it was the case with Transmission torrenting app). Sure, it's their project and they can do whatever they want with it, but they are being extremely inconstructive when it comes to the feedback of the users and even their fellow developers, doing damage to the whole community.

Hi, I came across your channel by chance. I had years ago (1997?) the first time to do with Linux, then SUSE Linux, a distribution from Germany. At that time still on my good i386 computer. In the last years I got more and more away from Linux, professionally everything was Windows based and since Windows 7 it got better and better. After watching some of your videos I installed Linux on a laptop again yesterday, this time Pop!_os. Somehow I'm looking forward to tinkering again. Keep up the good work, looking forward to new videos from you.

[@catheriner999]

I've just migrated from 15 years on macos to PopOS based on it being unix-like, NVIDIA support, and "beginner-friendly" reputation. I think part of being beginner-friendly is not possibly breaking your customers' workflow/computers with insufficiently tested releases, so if they say they don't want to split resources I believe them. As someone who was using a 2015 MBP running MacOS Catalina (released 2019) up until last week, clearly I'm not super invested in the bleeding edge of computing. I've only joined the linux community very recently, but have been taken aback by the tendency of users to become hysterical over trivial things. Thank you for explaining the issue in a reasonable way.

[@SocialNetwooky]

I use Arch (btw?!) but yeah .. tiling is definitely the way to go if you're a developer. Sooooo much more streamlined and, somehow, fun ...oh ... and AwesomeWM's (pun intended :P

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

I really liked Pop os when I daily drove it for while. But the same issues I had with the Gnome DE in general are also in Pop os. I'm hoping the Rust based Cosmic DE they come up with fixes enough of those issues with unique changes. For example, Theming on gnome is a PITA. Didn't enjoy dealing with that. I do that to fix some of my issues with stock icons for folders so I can organize a bit better. Also needing an extension to format my date and time in the taskbar (and other simple settings) or not being present at all is annoying. Plasma on Kubuntu so far gives me everything I wanted in gnome by default. light theming can be done from within the settings instead of creating and messing with folders in home directory. Needing another extension to change audio devices from the taskbar on the desktop is also very annoying to me. I really want Cosmic to be good too.

[@emil.steiner]

I love how you answer the questions in the thumbnail with your mug :D

[@YigalWeinstein]

It all kind of depends on how package management is setup. What I mean is take a distro like Arch where AUR was kind of a Flatpack/Snap before these were in wide use. Now that Snap, Flatpack, containers, Linuxbrew exist and are actually really good what the base distro. can or should provide and/or focus on narrows from everything under the sun to basically hardware support (the kernel/kernel drivers) and a unified UI/UX, which isn't trivial, but is narrower than what historically Linux distros handled. I've also almost hit my two decade mark with Linux and I've had the pleasure of compiling custom kernels to eventually after months of custom DSDTs, system freezes, finally getting suspend to work on my laptop, as well as working with unstable Linux distros where the for example sound doesn't work etc.. I don't really want to spend weeks working on getting hardware or software to work every OS upgrade. If that OS upgrade is frequent, eg half a year, that's even more time out of not being able to get work outside of the OS/software upgrading done. I've noticed my Lemur(10) has had all kinds of firmware updates over time, and while System76 isn't perfect, but what is, they are creating a quality product, over time, although I just had to replace my laptop's battery, literally yesterday, but that's my fault for keeping it plugged in 24x7, and that's 2 years after purchase. It's not as though System76 isn't being inventive, eg that Rust OS, COSMIC, System76 is working on looks real nice. tl;dr 1 year is a great cycle time imo for a stable release.

New subscriber here, thanks to Jeff at Craft Computing talking about the "Your Tools are Probably Fine" video on his Talking Heads stream. I'm not a Pop!_OS user, but I just don't see the big deal. I could even see the argument for them moving to following the Ubuntu LTS releases only. Look at the bright side--it's still updating more frequently than Debian stable! Also, I've been using Linux for over 20 years. Back when I started, I recall being educated that the proper pronunciation of GNOME was "guh-nome" because that's what the project called itself. In that respect, nothing ever changes--there's always questions and complaints about pronunciation.

[@LudoTechWorld]

I'm using Pop!OS for some time now and loving it. I don't care about this change, it's all fine and I really want to see their new desktop environment.

I installed Pop on my older HP and I like how it performs. I don't mind if they come out with a new distro every year. This one updates just fine.

to be fair I quite liked my journey with POP, but I switched even before this announcement, due to POP holding back Nvidia GPU driver (even if upstream Ubuntu had newer version), the version POP was using contained bug which affected my.usage. but such announcement would certainly did not drive me away, I think it's fair and I am really looking forward to see what becomes of POP/Cosmic.

Swithich to yearly releases os good idea because it gives you space to organize yourself and set clear plans on what is planed. Having enough time to test everything properly prior to release will only go in their favour of releasing stable and fully funcional release.

Interesting, but there's just no point trying to compete with KDE 5, especially not with a brand-new desktop environment. It's so vastly superior to all other desktop environments at this point. On a different note, couldn't users desperate for 22.10 updates just manually change their Ubuntu repo references to the latest release? If PopOS is as "based on Ubuntu" as it claims, there should be minimal-to-no compatibility issues. I did that with my KDE Neon install back before they rebased their distro on 22.04.

It is funny you say it is well-known, but I only just heard of it until today, this video. Maybe I have been living under a rock, but gonna give it a go. Subbed and liked, ty.

I'm totally OK with the delay especially with the rapid kernel upgrade and NVIDIA drivers and since I also own a S76 laptop that so far is very well supported. Thanks for your content!

You got me with the keyboard and shirt. I'm a trackball person also. Couldn't see. Which trackball do you use?

I don't mind the Ubuntu logo. It's better than Pop's Fischer-Price looking branding.

I'm not a Fan of Ubuntu based distros, having been a daily user of Fedora for many years. But that's ME, this is the beauty of Open Source, find the distro that works best for you and stick with it. Thank you Veronica, for all your coverage of so many things! Keep up the fine work.
