I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it’s the package manager.

    Idk, it seems to be picking up steam. It’s what I use unless I’m trying to use something super lightweight.

    For me it has the stability of Ubuntu without having to use Ubuntu.

    Haven’t tried Debian yet though.

        Snaps are basically Ubuntu’s private app store, and flatpaks (the supported method of app distribution by almost every other distro) are not supported; there’s no tiling WM built-in for large monitors; the kernel is not kept up to date (i.e. improved hardware coverage and support); some things like streaming with OBS studio and Steam don’t work out of the box (this may have changed, but it was the case for me about a year ago).

        There’s a small amount of telemetry going on.

        Also, Pop_OS makes running an Nvidia GPU less painful.
