Thanks so much for such a thorough initiation. At nearly 80, I have decided to switch to Linux if I can possibly make the transition. Your efforts will help me so much. What I really hope to do is run Pop OS within a virtualbox on Windows 10. Haven't figured out just how that would affect saving the files to folders already existing on my other hard drives. Thanks so much.
I've been wanting to move away from Windows and Google products for years and came across your video. Definitely helped and made me more confident in going with Pop!_OS to try it out and eventually stay on Linux. Much appreciated!
I made the switch from Windows to Pop about 4 months ago. I can't stress enough just how much happier I am after doing so. None of the horror stories I have seen have turned out to be even remotely true. I installed in minutes, all my hardware was detected properly, and literally every single game I have tried to run has not only ran, but ran as fast or faster than it did on Windows. I honestly have zero complaints. I will never go back. Unless of course this changes down the road, but currently things just seem to get better by the day. I have only opened the console once- and it was by accident. I just wanted to see what the button w/ the square on it did. Maybe my experience with it is the exception, but I don't think so. I have plugged this same drive into 3 different machines of mine- desktops and laptops with different hardware and it works just fine on any of them. Try that with Windows and see if it works.
Am I the only one who thinks that POP OS is much better than Windows 10/11 in terms of multitasking and workflow??? Plus, it is a great OS to run games like CS GO and GTA5. Man Im switching to POP OS after this vid. THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR PRECIOUS CONTENT.
I Just started using Pop OS because I needed a GNOME distro for this convertible laptop. I'm not normally a GNOME user but POP feels like the best implementation of GNOME. Thank you for this video!
Same. I use XFCE on straight Debian everywhere, but wanted a way to try Gnome 3. Also, I wanted to try Steam Proton because gaming is the only reason I keep one Windows laptop around anymore.
Hands down THE best video about Pop!_OS I've watched! After leaving Windows in February 2023 after many many years, and a bit of distro hopping I plan on settling on Pop!_OS cause it really stands out compared to other distributions. And this video was very helpful! Thank you!
Ditto. Switched last week. It's been amazing. ChatGPT is great for learning the terminal and installing apps from the terminal and troubleshooting. One thing I might note, is that I also bought an AMD graphics card to support the switch to Linux. I know Pop!_OS distributes an iso with nvidia drivers, but I have tried many times to switch to Linux (with other distros) using a GTX 1660 ti and there always seems to be issues related to the proprietary drivers. I decided to just make a clean break and go for an AMD card. I have an Ryzen CPU so it kinda only made sense, and it was a nice excuse to purchase an upgrade over the 1660 ti (it's a used rx 5700 xt that I got for ~$150 USD).
I am definitely installing Pop Os! Thanks for highlighting how cool and easy to use it is on your video. You've convinced me it's worth it for me to make the move.
4:52 I have ran pop os on a 16 year old pavilion with a 1 core cpu and 3gb of ram and it runs great. As long as your cpu is 64 bit (So pretty much any cpu made after 2004) and you upgrade the ram it will be fine.
Thank you for clearing the clouds of my mind. Now I feel increased confidence using Linux based systems. Can't wait to view your command line videos as I have interest in learning more about using this. Thanks again Jay
Thanks Jay-This video is what finally got me to settle on an OS and actually make my first attempt at installing and using a Linux OS of any variety. I’m a long-time Windows user who owned and loved using a Mac for some time as well, but ultimately, the frustrations of Windows 10 and the upcoming Windows 11 release compelled me to look to Linux. I might never look back.
I actually love windows but I have just had it with Microsoft and their ways. With The changes coming up for 11, I am just no longer interested in putting up with them.
Thanks so much for your no BS approach to helping those of us without the fundamentals to follow convoluted guides you see on YT. you are by far the best Linux teacher for those getting started like myself. I will be learning all my Linux from you and your videos.
Jay! Thank you for your videos, I switched my one desktop's over to POP with your help and wow, how easy was that! Tank you for taking the time to make the videos, I really appreciate your help.
Well, I installed it and trying it out so far so good. Was surprised the synaptic package manager was not installed by default. Thank you for the instructions! Merry Christmas!
Just installed Pop OS on my 2010 HP pavilion slimline and it runs beautifully for its intended use of network storage. It met the Pop system requirements when I bought it, and I’ve upgraded RAM and storage since then. It does have an i5 650 in it, but even that meets the 64 bit requirement. Don’t sell 10 year old computers short!
I've already ordered the computer that will replace my 2012 mac. Although Apple has always been expensive and protective, the way they treat me as a consumer now is appalling. And I will never let a Windows product touch my computer. But you gave me a good look at not only the install process but also the usage of the OS, and it looks like I will be right at home.
I have decided to go with POP my self for two reasons 1 it comes well recomended 2 I can get the lap top with it all loaded in a 17 inch machine. I have for now paying a tech to load Pop onto a 1 terrabite segate expancion pack to proctise until I am ready to buy.
Jay, you convinced me to try POP!_OS on my new NUC11 i5. I tried your suggestions for creating a bootable USB and was having trouble getting the new system to recognize the USB. I finally created a bootable USB using Linux Mint 19 and the USB disk imager application which was quite easy. To make it recognizable to Intel, I had to go into the bios setting and turn off secure boot and also change the standard setting to custom. I proceeded to install the O/S and it went really well. Maybe others are having this problem with install since Intel is so partial to Microsoft. I am running into a few problems but am able to find solutions. I just replaced my Toshiba "museum" laptop that was about 13 years old. So, I expect these modern new-fangled systems will need some tweaking here and there. Thanks for your continued reviews and updates. I really think I am going to like POP-OS.
If you like to distro hop, you need to look into ventoy! You boot into ventoy and it lets you select from a list of isos that you have provided it, and then ventoy mounts the image into memory at boot time! That way you don't have to keep flashing USB sticks every time you want to try a new distro! I currently have it installed on an old 128 GB SSD, and use a SATA to USB adapter to boot from it or add new isos to it. That's the great thing about it, you can keep adding ISOs over time as long as the drive has room, since the bootable portion of the drive (containing Ventoy), and the portion containing the isos are on two different partitions. Super awesome tool, and it's open source!
I liked the 20.04 GUI experience way more than the new one. I swapped to Fedora and I love the new Gnome 40. Can't wait to see what they do with it in the future.
Jay your awesome, I switched to POP OS and to be honest I like it better than Linux Mint. Your clear and understandable instructions help me catch on. Thank You.
Maybe I listened better this time. I normally do not like the Gnome DE's that Ubuntu uses, but PopOS's extension make it usable. I thank you for the detailed explanation of the desktop. It's convinced me that I should try it for a while. I'm looking for the perfect 10ft. desktop experience. i.e. 60" UHD, wireless keyboard and mouse from a reclining chair at about 10ft.
Installed POP OS few days back and I'm in love with this amazing distro. Much better than Windows. Now, my laptop is heating much less than before and even battery backup has been improved. 😇 But it freezes sometimes, the only problem I'm facing. Do you know the reason??
Hey there! Can I know more details about the freeze you have if you don't mind? I have some issues with using the application search launcher while turning on my native Vietnamese keyboard too. Could be the same thing you mention.
I recommend running memtest86, most freezes are hardware related. Different operating systems deal with faulty hardware differently. It's possible that there's no issue with your hardware, but I always recommend a memory test just to rule it out.
This tiling and launcher is just great. I have always heard you speaking highly of pop os. Finally I have made the switch to check and I am glad that I did. Its awesome tiling with that tab stack, perhaps, need only one addition. There has to be some way to save those stacks and tiles arrangements for one click start. great walk through video Jay. Thank you
Posted this on the full review video. In case anyone has an Acer Aspire: I have an Acer Aspire 5560. The demo mode of this distro wasn't detecting the acer's wifi but the ethernet was fine. I went for the install anyway. After the install, I did the updates and noticed this driver file was waiting for click to install. Looked up the name of the file and it was the broadcom wifi driver (bcmwl-kernal-source). For some reason it didn't want to install it automatically or even use it for the demo automatically. Needless to say, the wifi driver is installed and working fine. Odd that. An update on that wifi driver install issue, every time I go into the update screen for OS system updates, the bcmwl-kernal-source still keeps getting listed as [Install]. Even though I have it installed and the wifi is working fine. Anyway, big thanks for this how to video!
Do you know if your Acer laptop restricts replacing the WiFi card? I always replace Broadcom WiFi cards with Intel WiFi cards, which avoids every problem you mentioned. Usually, Intel WiFi cards are about $10-$15 USD on eBay. The problem though, is that some manufacturers lock the computer if you switch the WiFi card, but some vendors don't. If your manufacturer doesn't prevent this in the BIOS, life would be easier if you ditched the Broadcom card.
@@LearnLinuxTV Oh thanks I'll look into that about the wifi card. So far everything has been fine though. Didn't have time yet to dig around about the wifi thing. For now I'll just ignoring the option for installing that driver since it is already installed and working fine. The bios options on this laptop are a joke compared to my desktop. Again big thanks for the install tutorial for pop_os and your other videos as well.
Jay, 👍best linux videos. Thank you for helping to educate me enough to decide what distro is best for my interest at this time. Excellent POP_OS video On older laptop Cryption Login really slows processes. Could you do videos like this about WM like QTile & i3W? How about Slackware Distro?
Just want to say for anyone trying to boot love mode and getting a message that says "error: you need to load the kernel first" you need to disable secure boot and delete the secure boot keys from the BIOS menu
I have two drives in my pc , pop shop is currently installed in my ssd. Is there a way I can specifically select which drive applications get installed to from pop shop?
I've been using ventoy to make my flashdrives, with this I can directly drop ISOs in my flashdrive. On boot I get an option menu to let me decide which ISO I want to run. Great when trying out a bunch of distros back to back
Fedora 34 has been frustrating. Sound won't work when I log back in. And there's no scaling option in smaller increments. And no dock. Gonna try pop next.
Very good video and it was even better that I managed to get things working. I have a little question. How do I decrypt the HD and how do I turn that of for the future .
I tried pop OS and was very disappointed. It gave me the option to try it before installing it. Everything worked perfectly until I installed it. Couldn't get the internet to work. It worked during the test but not after the install. So I had to go back to windows 10. 😭
SOMEBODY HEEELP i have been trying to install linux on my internal ssd (currently running and came preinstaled with windows) but on the window where we have to choose a drive to install linux on only shows my hdd . even in disks in linux it doesnt show my ssd but my ssd is still their on windows and bios . i have tried different distroes like pop and manjaro and different usb ecthers like rufus and bealean(something like that ) still no luck . anybody knows how i can install linux on my ssd thanks
The live test environment was interesting for me when I installed Fedora 34 on my older laptop, the touch pad didn't work in the live environment for me, but then when the install was finished the touch pad did work without me doing anything.
You didn't show how to install a printers drivers from the manufactures website. I have a Brother MFC-490CW printer and the Brother website has Linux drivers, and I can not figure out how to install them. Newby from Windows. I really need this printer installed, please help
Just did a fresh install of Pop OS. But it is not recognizing my ethernet connection. So no internet at the moment. I am able to get internet through Wi-Fi through Pop os, but why is it not recognizing my hardwired connection?
Flatpaks have the downside of (often) much more disk and memory usage. In the Thunderbird example given the Flatpak was (up to) 1GB wheres the "deb" version was 72.6MB!
Ehh no. Common newbie misconception. The 1gb is for a one time download of a shared environment that all flatpaks use. The flatpak app itself is only 70mb. Memory usage is also identical because all flatpaks load the same libraries into RAM using shared memory, thanks to hardlinks in the OSTree. App updates are also much smaller on flatpaks than packages, because they are done via diffs instead of full re-download. There are reasons to fear flatpaks. What you listed is not it. The real reasons to fear flatpak is that it sucks at integrating OS themes (gtk/qt) and sometimes the apps are slightly broken inside flatpaks due to the sandboxing. The theme issue can be fixed by copying your OS themes into the flatpak environments... Anyway, flatpaks are the greatest thing that ha shappened to Linux software distribution. No longer do you have to package for 100s of distros, or wait for distro repository updates.
@@BenderdickCumbersnatch By the way, not a newbie. I've been a Linux user/dev since the mid 90s, starting out with Slackware with the linux-1.2 kernel on an AMD 5x86 @150MHz! I've contributed to many projects, regularly providing bug fixes as I always try to debug and fix any bugs I find. I didn't respond to your point about providing packages for 100s of distros: Is it the job of developers to distribute their software under the F/OSS model? Traditionally it hasn't been. It seems to me many new developers who cut their teeth under Windows have been getting involved with F/OSS projects, and part of that is bringing the Windows culture of providing "installers" for users. To my mind it isn't the responsibility of developers to distribute their F/OSS code, but to make it available for distribution, ideally writing it in a portable manner so as to be agnostic to the platform on which it is deployed. One of the main points of the F/OSS development model is source availability means it isn't necessary to to reverse engineer and patch binaries to discover and fix bugs, instead system integrators, distribution maintainers and Gentoo users(!) are able to fix the code and provide source patches upstream. The whole idea behind shipping a binary and having to support that on various platforms was never part of the deal. That developer binary distribution model seems to me what FlatPak and other similar projects primarily attempts to make easier. Yes, it suits some projects to do this, especially if they already use the Windows model of distribution, but it isn't the F/OSS way.
I've been on pop for a week now.. some gripes: 1. I was hoping chrome would be stabler than windows but turns out it still poops out at around 500 open tabs 2. When in multi monitor (hdmi + dp) instead of going in standby (on the monitors), it goes to standby then displays a black screen with a mouse cursor - total waste of energy, not happy about that. 3. I found Dash to dock which I really love, but from time to time it disappears so I need to go back to the extensions web page to disable/reenable it. unsure why 4. No built in hibernate sucks.. Sleep crashed on me once already (as in, wake up the computer but it hard locks) 5. More linked to my setup, realtek alc1220-vb, I just cannot enable dts or any 5.1 audio over spdif :( This is my unbiased opinion so far.. if anyone got tips would love to hear it
I got a second SSD to dual boot this on my desktop, and will probably install on my 2 in 1 as well since it seemed to work very well with the touchscreen. Hoping to leave windows once and for all soon.
@@sunburst8810 Linux sucks on any computer for the average user. :) When Linux is mom proof then it’s probably time to remove the label “sucks”. As long as one still have issues with drivers, formats, programs and having to use terminal for tasks it’s clear that it’s not there just yet. It’s getting better tho. And for an more experienced user it can be great. I use many flavors of Unix and Linux for different uses. But it’s not even for me there yet to be useful as an daily driver.
Can we add both "Auto-Tiling With Pop Shell" and "Stack application windows atop one another like tabs in a web browser." pop os features to anothers linux distros like elementary, zorin or garuda?
Cool video, I'm really tempted to get rid of Windows now given how Linux has become far more noob friendly system than it once was. I can't decide whether to go POP, mint or zorin though 😆🤣😂
I just recently wipe out my macbook air (2013) to install POP os, but after all the steps following this video, my macbook now does not show up with WIFI connection nor the corresponding setting option in the system settings....what should I do?
Network Problem: I have two Nic a 1gbe etheternet for Internet and a 10GBE for a direct connection to QNAP nas, When trying to set up both nics when I enable one it auto disables the other one, How can I use both simultaneously? Please help
HAVe they FIXED that issue with the boot sector getting FULL of old kernels and not being able to be cleaned or updated???? Mint has a section in the updates that allow you to delete old kernels so you can always update--- POP OS did NOT-- I LOVED POP OS- and would still be using it- but it hit the point where it could not update any more due to that being unable to get rid of the old kernels... HAVE THEY FIXED THAT YET???
Just installed pop os, accidentally wiped my drive before i got to test it out and my wifi isnt showing up, i dont have an ethernet cable so i think im screwed
It's Tuesday 8/1/23, I'm not new to Linux or installing Operating Systems, but this ones got me baffeled. I ran Mint 21.2 it ran on usb so I installed it but always failed to boot. Then I tried POP OS for Nvidia that to ran from usb flash drive, but when I installed it the screen was oversized and no matter how I tried to change screen resolution it failed. Then Ubuntu everything checked out from usb flash drive, but it failed to let me change screen resolution. Again, screen size matters, I couln't see any way to shut down and reset, the screen was oversized and I couldn't locate ShutDown nor any command to shutdown from keyboard command. All three OS worked from usb Boot and adjustments were made using USB flash drives Screen rez., Sound, ect. And Yes I changed flash drives tried USB flash drives from USB 2 thru 3.1. I will try an MBR install next. This system has an Nvidis GTX 780ti, ASUS 270 Formula / Intel 7700K / Kingston 16 gig PC 2400"s and or G.Skills Ripjaws 3600 cas 18 / last Micron Ballistic 2400's . What I don't understand everything works on Windows 10 when set UEFI / GPT. Now when I reset BIOS using optimal settings or Factory Bios reset should have made an install easy for any OS UEFI or MBR with or without GPT. But Windows 10 loads and runs as soon as the Win UEFI boot loader is found. This Motherboard is a Z270 equiped to run Windows 11 but can't because the Intel I7 7700K didn't make Intels list of acceptable CPU's for Win11. Any advise is appreciated
I've been running Pop! OS for about a year, after trying several Linux distros. I couldn't be happier with its performance. However, just recently, something has changed, and I cannot run ANY AppImage programs at all. Any ideas?
I tried manjaro deepin on my pc and it worked great in live mode but after install pc would not boot.It says light display manager failed?So live mode does not seem to alway7s be a way to tell.
Hi Jay, great video! Can I ask how I uninstall Pop!_OS ? I don't like it anymore and want to revert back to Windows 10, any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

Oh nice. Iiterally just installed Pop on my old macbook that was just returned from repair.
thanks! i love pop_os an amazing OS people should really get on it
Posted this on the full review video. In case anyone has an Acer Aspire: I have an Acer Aspire 5560. The demo mode of this distro wasn't detecting the acer's wifi but the ethernet was fine. I went for the install anyway. After the install, I did the updates and noticed this driver file was waiting for click to install. Looked up the name of the file and it was the broadcom wifi driver (bcmwl-kernal-source). For some reason it didn't want to install it automatically or even use it for the demo automatically. Needless to say, the wifi driver is installed and working fine. Odd that. An update on that wifi driver install issue, every time I go into the update screen for OS system updates, the bcmwl-kernal-source still keeps getting listed as [Install]. Even though I have it installed and the wifi is working fine. Anyway, big thanks for this how to video!
Do you know if your Acer laptop restricts replacing the WiFi card? I always replace Broadcom WiFi cards with Intel WiFi cards, which avoids every problem you mentioned. Usually, Intel WiFi cards are about $10-$15 USD on eBay. The problem though, is that some manufacturers lock the computer if you switch the WiFi card, but some vendors don't. If your manufacturer doesn't prevent this in the BIOS, life would be easier if you ditched the Broadcom card.
@@LearnLinuxTV Oh thanks I'll look into that about the wifi card. So far everything has been fine though. Didn't have time yet to dig around about the wifi thing. For now I'll just ignoring the option for installing that driver since it is already installed and working fine. The bios options on this laptop are a joke compared to my desktop. Again big thanks for the install tutorial for pop_os and your other videos as well.
Wow, I loved it!
Jay, 👍best linux videos. Thank you for helping to educate me enough to decide what distro is best for my interest at this time. Excellent POP_OS video On older laptop Cryption Login really slows processes. Could you do videos like this about WM like QTile & i3W? How about Slackware Distro?
Just want to say for anyone trying to boot love mode and getting a message that says "error: you need to load the kernel first" you need to disable secure boot and delete the secure boot keys from the BIOS menu
Jay, your video is about completely replacing the existing Hard drive. How about if I want dual OS, both Windows 10 and Pop OS
I have two drives in my pc , pop shop is currently installed in my ssd. Is there a way I can specifically select which drive applications get installed to from pop shop?
Same issue
Thank you so much jay, you are the best as always
Very nice. I wonder if one can save workspaces with apps bundles such as communication, development, postproduction, etc
I've been using ventoy to make my flashdrives, with this I can directly drop ISOs in my flashdrive. On boot I get an option menu to let me decide which ISO I want to run. Great when trying out a bunch of distros back to back
Fedora 34 has been frustrating. Sound won't work when I log back in. And there's no scaling option in smaller increments. And no dock. Gonna try pop next.
So Tiling is windows commnder awesome can,t wait to buy one more SSD and install Pop OS 😀
Bless you for awesome content
Thank you!
hi there. i recently installed pop os on my device and left my old os behind. im new to linux and i am ready to learn.
On my laptop i have two local disk c and d
I want to install it on c and keep my data on d
Can u explain these?
great explanation.thanks for the video.comment from pop os 21.04
Glad you liked it!
@@LearnLinuxTV it freezes sometimes.whats the matter?
Very good video and it was even better that I managed to get things working. I have a little question. How do I decrypt the HD and how do I turn that of for the future .
I tried pop OS and was very disappointed. It gave me the option to try it before installing it. Everything worked perfectly until I installed it. Couldn't get the internet to work. It worked during the test but not after the install. So I had to go back to windows 10. 😭
SOMEBODY HEEELP
i have been trying to install linux on my internal ssd (currently running and came preinstaled with windows) but on the window where we have to choose a drive to install linux on only shows my hdd . even in disks in linux it doesnt show my ssd but my ssd is still their on windows and bios . i have tried different distroes like pop and manjaro and different usb ecthers like rufus and bealean(something like that ) still no luck . anybody knows how i can install linux on my ssd thanks
The live test environment was interesting for me when I installed Fedora 34 on my older laptop, the touch pad didn't work in the live environment for me, but then when the install was finished the touch pad did work without me doing anything.
Thank you.
Just a perfect video. Thank you
You didn't show how to install a printers drivers from the manufactures website. I have a Brother MFC-490CW printer and the Brother website has Linux drivers, and I can not figure out how to install them. Newby from Windows. I really need this printer installed, please help
"At most 4 applications in tiling mode" ? I am using terminals extensively and often have 6-7 opened items at once (terminals + others)
Just did a fresh install of Pop OS. But it is not recognizing my ethernet connection. So no internet at the moment. I am able to get internet through Wi-Fi through Pop os, but why is it not recognizing my hardwired connection?
Great guide as always....thank you.
My pleasure!
I find it funny that windows 11 is in beta with these really cool features now when it has already been implemented into Pop.
Flatpaks have the downside of (often) much more disk and memory usage. In the Thunderbird example given the Flatpak was (up to) 1GB wheres the "deb" version was 72.6MB!
Ehh no. Common newbie misconception.
The 1gb is for a one time download of a shared environment that all flatpaks use.
The flatpak app itself is only 70mb.
Memory usage is also identical because all flatpaks load the same libraries into RAM using shared memory, thanks to hardlinks in the OSTree.
App updates are also much smaller on flatpaks than packages, because they are done via diffs instead of full re-download.
There are reasons to fear flatpaks. What you listed is not it. The real reasons to fear flatpak is that it sucks at integrating OS themes (gtk/qt) and sometimes the apps are slightly broken inside flatpaks due to the sandboxing. The theme issue can be fixed by copying your OS themes into the flatpak environments... Anyway, flatpaks are the greatest thing that ha shappened to Linux software distribution. No longer do you have to package for 100s of distros, or wait for distro repository updates.
@@BenderdickCumbersnatch By the way, not a newbie. I've been a Linux user/dev since the mid 90s, starting out with Slackware with the linux-1.2 kernel on an AMD 5x86 @150MHz! I've contributed to many projects, regularly providing bug fixes as I always try to debug and fix any bugs I find.
I didn't respond to your point about providing packages for 100s of distros: Is it the job of developers to distribute their software under the F/OSS model? Traditionally it hasn't been. It seems to me many new developers who cut their teeth under Windows have been getting involved with F/OSS projects, and part of that is bringing the Windows culture of providing "installers" for users. To my mind it isn't the responsibility of developers to distribute their F/OSS code, but to make it available for distribution, ideally writing it in a portable manner so as to be agnostic to the platform on which it is deployed.
One of the main points of the F/OSS development model is source availability means it isn't necessary to to reverse engineer and patch binaries to discover and fix bugs, instead system integrators, distribution maintainers and Gentoo users(!) are able to fix the code and provide source patches upstream. The whole idea behind shipping a binary and having to support that on various platforms was never part of the deal. That developer binary distribution model seems to me what FlatPak and other similar projects primarily attempts to make easier. Yes, it suits some projects to do this, especially if they already use the Windows model of distribution, but it isn't the F/OSS way.
Hi jay my Lenovo 1440 model keeps crashing after installation what can I do to fix this problem
I've been on pop for a week now.. some gripes:
1. I was hoping chrome would be stabler than windows but turns out it still poops out at around 500 open tabs
2. When in multi monitor (hdmi + dp) instead of going in standby (on the monitors), it goes to standby then displays a black screen with a mouse cursor - total waste of energy, not happy about that.
3. I found Dash to dock which I really love, but from time to time it disappears so I need to go back to the extensions web page to disable/reenable it. unsure why
4. No built in hibernate sucks.. Sleep crashed on me once already (as in, wake up the computer but it hard locks)
5. More linked to my setup, realtek alc1220-vb, I just cannot enable dts or any 5.1 audio over spdif :(
This is my unbiased opinion so far.. if anyone got tips would love to hear it
I got a second SSD to dual boot this on my desktop, and will probably install on my 2 in 1 as well since it seemed to work very well with the touchscreen. Hoping to leave windows once and for all soon.
linux really sucks ass on most 2 in 1s. ive tried. it doesnt agree with the hardware at all, endless, constant issues.
@@sunburst8810 Linux sucks on any computer for the average user. :) When Linux is mom proof then it’s probably time to remove the label “sucks”. As long as one still have issues with drivers, formats, programs and having to use terminal for tasks it’s clear that it’s not there just yet. It’s getting better tho. And for an more experienced user it can be great. I use many flavors of Unix and Linux for different uses. But it’s not even for me there yet to be useful as an daily driver.
shouldn't you enable the firewall too?
Thanks a lot for the great content!
Can we add both "Auto-Tiling With Pop Shell" and "Stack application windows atop one another like tabs in a web browser." pop os features to anothers linux distros like elementary, zorin or garuda?
can u show please how to install POP os on usb with LUKS full encrypted system(ext4) with recovery partition? And how to check that all work properly?
Cool video, I'm really tempted to get rid of Windows now given how Linux has become far more noob friendly system than it once was.
I can't decide whether to go POP, mint or zorin though 😆🤣😂
Same here!
I just recently wipe out my macbook air (2013) to install POP os, but after all the steps following this video, my macbook now does not show up with WIFI connection nor the corresponding setting option in the system settings....what should I do?
Can’t find any video on how to install ledger live on pop os

can somebody help?
Please for install on a SD card what brand model do you recommend I bought one but not boot...
HAVe they FIXED that issue with the boot sector getting FULL of old kernels and not being able to be cleaned or updated???? Mint has a section in the updates that allow you to delete old kernels so you can always update--- POP OS did NOT-- I LOVED POP OS- and would still be using it- but it hit the point where it could not update any more due to that being unable to get rid of the old kernels... HAVE THEY FIXED THAT YET???
It is possible a seperat Home Partition to choose at the Installation?
Why didn't you tell about bios security and not being able to install it without it being right
hi jay how to adjust resolution and how to have custom resolution
Just installed pop os, accidentally wiped my drive before i got to test it out and my wifi isnt showing up, i dont have an ethernet cable so i think im screwed
I just installed the pop os theme on gnome40 on my arch linux
Thanks!
It's Tuesday 8/1/23, I'm not new to Linux or installing Operating Systems, but this ones got me baffeled. I ran Mint 21.2 it ran on usb so I installed it but always failed to boot. Then I tried POP OS for Nvidia that to ran from usb flash drive, but when I installed it the screen was oversized and no matter how I tried to change screen resolution it failed. Then Ubuntu everything checked out from usb flash drive, but it failed to let me change screen resolution. Again, screen size matters, I couln't see any way to shut down and reset, the screen was oversized and I couldn't locate ShutDown nor any command to shutdown from keyboard command. All three OS worked from usb Boot and adjustments were made using USB flash drives Screen rez., Sound, ect. And Yes I changed flash drives tried USB flash drives from USB 2 thru 3.1. I will try an MBR install next. This system has an Nvidis GTX 780ti, ASUS 270 Formula / Intel 7700K / Kingston 16 gig PC 2400"s and or G.Skills Ripjaws 3600 cas 18 / last Micron Ballistic 2400's . What I don't understand everything works on Windows 10 when set UEFI / GPT. Now when I reset BIOS using optimal settings or Factory Bios reset should have made an install easy for any OS UEFI or MBR with or without GPT. But Windows 10 loads and runs as soon as the Win UEFI boot loader is found. This Motherboard is a Z270 equiped to run Windows 11 but can't because the Intel I7 7700K didn't make Intels list of acceptable CPU's for Win11. Any advise is appreciated
I've been running Pop! OS for about a year, after trying several Linux distros. I couldn't be happier with its performance. However, just recently, something has changed, and I cannot run ANY AppImage programs at all. Any ideas?
I tried manjaro deepin on my pc and it worked great in live mode but after install pc would not boot.It says light display manager failed?So live mode does not seem to alway7s be a way to tell.
What about getting samba "windows shares" working???
How do you get window control buttons integrated into the top bar in pop_os??
Hi Jay, great video! Can I ask how I uninstall Pop!_OS ? I don't like it anymore and want to revert back to Windows 10, any help would be really appreciated, thanks.
Looks great with Dracula Theme
