Curious, how did you come to the decision to run pop_os on non-System76 hardware? I've found pop_os and ubuntu similar enough that they've proven interchangeable.
And how is the experience?
- dhruvkar 7y agoActually I haven't used plain Ubuntu since 14.04, so can't credibly say how close they are now. For 16-18 I used Lubuntu. This required a bunch of little customizations and 3rd party apps to get it close to OSX (the standard for me). Pop_os didnt require me writing scripts to get the touchbar or brighness keys to work. Plus, since it was bundled with nvidia drivers, it was by far the most seamless install experience. The defaults fit my workflow better than Lubuntu at a minimal cost. It's very slick without taking away functionality.
