I moved away from Windows at the beginning of the year. My first Distro was Linux Mint, then Ubuntu 22.04 and yesterday I installed Pop_OS 22.04. Fedora didn't fit my requirements as it doesn't support fractional scaling. All very, very solid. I gave Pop_OS a try because I wanted a simple tiling window manager. It does all I want. The only thing I don't like is the color theme. I know it's a matter of taste but Pop_OS is by far the ugliest out there. Also the default backgrounds. Or the stacking window bar. I wonder what other users are thinking ... Otherwise is seems very awesome so far. I don't understand the complains regarding the Pop Shop. I think it's actually pretty good. E.g. I can choose to install VS Code from Flathub or as deb Package. That's nice.

> Fedora didn't fit my requirements as it doesn't support fractional scaling. This is desktop dependent, not distro dependent. Only a few desktops support it so far: GNOME 3.x, KDE 5.x, and Cinnamon are the only ones I know of. Saying that I could not get it working on Ubuntu Cinnamon $LATEST. It does work on Mint $LATEST with the same release of Cinnamon.

Nordic theme is my favorite. https://github.com/EliverLara/Nordic https://github.com/EliverLara/Nordic For the background, I like macOS Mojave's default wallpaper, which blends well with the above theme. http://www.hdwallpaperslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/macos_mojave_night_desert_5k.jpg http://www.hdwallpaperslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/m...

  Woohoooo! I didn't know this great theme and how easy it is to install a new theme. Also, thanks for the background. I still need to find how to apply it to the terminal ... but I'm on a mission now :-). Edit: Done ... Awesome. Thanks a lot.
