[really silly nitpicking warning]
They should drop the underscore. At the time I wrote this comment "pop" appears 21 times on this page, and only 3 of those times bother to follow it with an underscore.
The brand is Pop or Pop OS. The only thing the underscore accomplishes is communicating "this is at least a little awkward" which I hope they don't intend.
- throwawaymaths 4y agoHey at least they dropped the bang!
- gpm 4y agoNo? https://pop.system76.com/ https://pop.system76.com/
- ChuckNorris89 4y ago>They should drop the underscore. Yeah, but then the resulting word "popos" has a relatively negative, or at least embarrassing, connotation in several languages :)
- JohnFen 4y agoDon't leave us hanging like that! What does it mean? I searched the web, but found nothing aside from "popos" being the plural of "popo", meaning police.
- tmtvl 4y agoPlural of popo, which is a French (and Spanish) term for doodoo. By which I mean a childish term for excrement.

- quesera 4y agoIt's not silly. Branding is important, and "Pop!_OS" is unique but not in a good way. I've known people who have been running PopOS (my preferred) for years who can't remember if the bang comes after the pop, or after the os. And everyone hates the underscore.
