I am slightly ashamed to admit the reason I'm not going to consider pop os is the stupid way they write it: Pop!_OS.

I'm already running 11 Linux VMs (and 3 bare metal Linux OS's) in my homelab so I think I've got plenty of Linux here anyway.

I had similar thoughts when I first discovered Pop!_OS. Just the name alone gave me vibes of some Fisher-Price toy operating system like it was meant for children, all cringe happy-smiley.

But I honestly suggest you get over your aversion to the name, and give it a try. It's actually one of the most pleasant desktop experiences I've had with Linux, and it's especially a treat on bare metal. Looks great, runs great and everything just works, including steam gaming.

I probably will eventually.

Yeah, I leave out the underscore.

I think I'm going to die over my arch sword one more time before I try giving another OS a try. Its either pop or endeaver next if I still have to fight my Nvidia card.
