Is Pop!OS a viable alternative to Ubuntu? I don't like Snaps but I like the fact that all my hardware (even my nVidia GPU) is supported. I think rolling release would be better, though, even if stuff breaks once in a while.
Yeah, popOS is basically ubuntu without snaps, with the latest nvidia drivers, and a scheduler that gives better gaming performance (gaming on linux has really come a long way since the steam deck has been released).
Before this, I used arch, until a simple update rendered my system unbootable. When I asked an arch dev why they were shipping a master branch grub build, I was told that if I couldn't easily recover a corrupted grub install I should consider another distro. I installed pop the next day. I've been very happy with it from that point forward. If I had to use something else it'd probably be mint.
Hmm, why is it an ISO, rather than getting the drivers from a server afterwards? I have a few devices that need proprietary drivers, do I need to do the same for the others?
