Pop_OS is based on Ubuntu, which is itself derived from Debian.
- KirinDave 7y agoPop_OS does not reuse Debian's packaging for this, does not do it the same way Ubuntu does. It also bundles it with the OS installer image, which can be pretty important. These are decisions that OS authors make. Even if they are derivative, it is worth calling out these specifics. Especially if it enables painless adoption of the OS on specific hardware rather than saying "well it's just Debian."
