This is my first time reading about this OS and the naming is very strange to me. I don't understand why they decided to go with "!_" in the middle. It feels a little too techy for a mainstream user. Why not PopOS or Pop OS?
- periheli0n 5y agoMaybe there's a German on the team who insisted on visually splitting the "Pop" from the "OS". "Popos" is German for "booties".

To be fair, they market themselves as "Pop!_OS is an operating system for STEM and creative professionals who use their computer as a tool to discover and create." on the main page for the OS. I'll admit, I don't love the !_ but for the opposite reason - it feels faux techy to me.
