From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I need to upgrade my ubuntu 18.04 desktop to something now, as it is out of support.
Pop looked interesting, but I am definitely looking for recommendations. I would prefer to stay in the debian/ubuntu type dostro, as that is what I am most familiar with, and can't be bothered re learning!
I've been running pop for a few years and pretty happy with it. Also, if you're interested, their window manager is a great way to get into tiling without having to fully commit.
I second pop. Nvidia drivers work out of the box. Flatpaks are treated like first class citizens. I hopped around a lot way back (Ubuntu, all its official flavours, mint, debian, elementary, even crunchbang) but landed on pop and haven't moved yet.
I really looking to get a pre- configured DE. Looks like I will be giving it a go.
