As someone who builds a computer, installs whatever seems like the most stable LTS distro at the time with the longest support period, and only switches to a new one when the current LTS expires, I’d like to thank all of you for being my beta testers. Your support means the world.
I installed the latest version of Pop and was shocked when like a third of the shit I wanted to find was missing. The settings page is barren. Zero VNC support out of the box, and most VNC software doesn’t even WORK! The shop is much better and faster than Pop shop… when it isn’t freezing all the time.
Reverted back to 22.x before cosmic and all the stuff I need is back, VNC is built-in, and the slower Pop Shop never freezes. Nothing freezes, it’s perfectly stable.
Cosmic looks nice but damn, the latest version of Pop is NOT there yet.
Thank you! As person new to using Linux as a regular computer and not a CLI backend for a PiHole or server, I felt that way within the first hour of using COSMIC pop… I appreciate the validation from someone who (I assume) has used Linux a lot longer than me lawl
It’s been a couple weeks since my comment you replied to and I’ve had a WONDERFUL time with Pop 22.x! Everything I’ve wanted to get working has worked perfectly, and I’m learning a ton. Excellent distro for new users (although I’m going to recommend 22.x for the foreseeable future)

you’re welcome mr debian user
This guy runs debian (btw)
We’ve got to come up with a different acronym. What says old and stable?
“I use Debian, lol (lots of love)”
Why the face?
I was born with it
I once heard someone say that Debian is like the sound Dads make when getting off the couch. I’ve never felt so seen.
(I absolutely run Debian, lol)

Pop made COSMIC the default far too early. It should be optional.

I reverted back to Mint when remote sound stopped working in Remmina.
