Pop_os! has done a lot for user experience (install and use), trending closer to macOS. I do see efforts being made towards capturing desktop users.

- yjftsjthsd-h 7y ago? I don't think Autodesk is owned by MS?
- rewgs 7y agoIt's great, but...good lord, that name. If your hope is to appeal to the masses, there are in my view two cardinal sins in OS naming: 1) Don't put "OS" in the name. It's an automatic "nerd alert." macOS is an exception because you don't have a choice to install it, and Apple is...well, Apple. They're often an exception to many things. 2) No punctuation marks, symbols, etc. Just letters. Pop_OS! breaks both of them, and one of them twice, and it drives me nuts, because it's a nice distro.
- jazoom 7y agoYou speak the truth. I've tried to explain this to them previously but they just ignore it. I use Arch now, but if I had to use something Debian-based I'd pick PopOS. My wife now uses PopOS. It may have been easier to convince her to use it if the name wasn't ridiculous. She likes it now, though.
