I came from Mac and Ubuntu and I have had an excellent experience. It can be as out-of-the-box or as customizable as you want. The support is superb. Everything works. Zero downside. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fabian_drinks_milk@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 3 years ago I haven't really used Pop!_OS! yet, but I am getting a System76 laptop so I'll definitely check it out. I hope they get their Cosmic desktop out soon so they can differentiate their distro more instead of being another fork with a few customizations and default apps. permalink fedilink source parent [–] EthanolParty@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 years ago I really like the tiling but I'm getting a bit tired of GNOME. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PoisonedPrisonPanda@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) if you are brave I suggest you endeavour os with i3wm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jackofalltrades@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago (2 children) Or sway :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PoisonedPrisonPanda@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 years ago havent tried it yet.
