Here's a few:
- Great initial repo list
- Togglable tiling manager
- Excellent shortcuts for everything that improve my workflow
Sure, I could get all of this stuff and more working on any other distro, but this stuff works out of the box, and is stable.
- helmholtz 5y agoIs there any way to use Pop without the gnome backend? Gnome and Pop both ship with Nautilus, and apparently don't work well without it, but Nautilus doesn't have type-ahead navigation. This is when you are in a directory and start typing the first few letters of the file you want to get to. In Windows Explorer, that will just lead to the cursor skipping ahead, whereas in Gnome, this starts a search for the file. It's absolutely appalling behaviour, and the developers are obstinate to a fault at changing this, despite outcry.
- shrike 5y agoYes. I use Pop!_OS with Plasma, it's great. The documentation includes details on switching to 8 different desktops. https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/ https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/
- milankragujevic 5y agoI had the same issue and resolved it on Pop! OS with this patched nautilus from a PPA. https://launchpad.net/~lubomir-brindza/+archive/ubuntu/nautilus-typeahead https://launchpad.net/~lubomir-brindza/+archive/ubuntu/nauti... Works great for me!
- helmholtz 5y agoOh hell yes. Thank you! I think it's time to give Pop a chance again then!
- q-base 5y agoThanks a lot for the list. "Luckily" not deal-breakers that would warrant a shift for me. I have been using Ubuntu without any complaints as daily driver for a year or so. But as I plan to get a new laptop in the future I contemplated whether I should try a new distro as well.
