Pop is woefully out of date at this point due to the ongoing alpha development of COSMIC. I switched off because a whole bunch of Nvidia-related things started breaking. LTS doesn't seem ideal for Nvidia in my experience.
- __rito__ 1y agoI just have seamless experience with Ubuntu. Wdym about LTS not being ideal for NVIDIA? The OS receives updates, NVIDIA drivers also do. What is the problem? Am I missing something?
- hodgehog11 1y agoThe latest NVIDIA drivers (576+ I think?) are totally broken on Ubuntu 22.04 variants and seem to require 24+. That was my experience anyway, I tried everything I could to get it to work, but PopOS would never boot under those drivers unless I upgraded to the alpha builds on Ubuntu 24. Forced me to switch to Fedora in the end (I needed those drivers for work) which worked seamlessly.
- __rito__ 1y agoOh, that makes sense. Ubuntu releases LTS versions every two years. I jump from LTS to LTS by simple `do-release-upgrade` command. Takes about 30 minutes. And I only upgrade after the dust settles, i.e. after 3-4 months of the release. Mint also releases upgrades regularly. I suggest upgrading regularly. NVIDIA drivers work great, and receive updates.
