Defintiely! I recently bought a used Thinkpad and slapped Pop!_OS on it for my father-in-law. He’s 73 and he’s loving it! He proudly tells his friends that he is now “a part of a computer revolution”.
He should be paid double for the amount of work he puts into those ads
It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.

I really like the idea of Nebula, but the way they market themselves as “creator owned” without being an actual workers cooperative seems deceitful (still much better than YouTube, though!)
Using NVIDIA Graphics for gaming, I have had the most luck and best performance on Pop!_OS. Thanks to their easy driver-setup and Proton on Steam, I am yet to have a game not run properly.
All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.
It had to do with encoding which works out-of-the-box in the Studio version, and not at all in the free version on Linux. I could’ve solved it by using something like Handbrake, but I didn’t want to add the extra step to my workflow. I also bought my Blackmagic 6K second-hand, so I’ve been wanting to properly pay them for their awesome products for a while now anyway.
Made the switch to Pop!_OS from Win10 half a year ago, and my machine’s been purring like a happy cat ever since. All my games still run (thanks, Proton!) and some even had a significant performance boost (RDR2 being the best example) with a 3090. Only problem I had was getting DaVinci Resolve to work properly, but I caved and bought the Studio version which runs perfectly.
I’ve been playing the Hades 2 beta recently, and I keep thinking about how incredible it is that this game is already better than any AAA title I’ve played in the last like 8 years. And it’s still in beta and made by just 23 people. Call of Duty, FIFA and the like will keep the big studios running for a while, but indie has definitely overtaken the industry and I’m all for it.
Yes! So glad to see developers sticking to their principles and switching for good. Every time I’m working with Blender or Godot I feel like I’m living in the future I’ve always dreamed of.

If you need DaVinci Resolve, just know that when you switch to Linux, you will lose the ability to read and render mp4 files. You will need to buy the full version to be able to do this on Linux.
I use my desktop primarily for video editing, 3D modeling, and a bit of gaming, and it’s been running Pop!_OS since December with absolutely zero issues. The only annoyance has been the mp4 file thing in DaVinci.
WoW Season of Discovery and it’s been fantastic. The group of friends I used to play with 10 years ago all decided to start playing again, and we just had our first raid yesterday. It’s been ages since I’ve laughed so much during a night of gaming.
Maybe he wanted something that could actually run?
For the past 8 years I have had to disable ‘mouse acceleration’ after every Windows update. The updates have become more frequent, and the setting to disable acceleration has slowly become buried deeper in the menus. Switched to Linux two days ago and I’m never looking back.
MATLAB is such a scam. Luckily a growing amount of universities are starting to realise it.
Trig is honestly the math I’ve used the most since finishing school. But to be fair, that is mostly because it’s useful as hell when doing game development as a hobby.
I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.
