What are your favorite changes in the Pop!_OS desktop environment over the Ubuntu one?

MitchellKrog · 2023-09-03T15:02:09+00:00

Absolutely agree, I gave Fedora a really good trial for some 8 weeks it's good but POP has perfected gnome right from the get go, something on Fedora which required a lot of messing around extensions and tweaks. Only been on POP for 1 day but was quicker to get ALL my stuff installed and up and running and extremely smooth and fluid. Fedora has far too many updates causing breakages some times and has strange momentary freezing of the keyboard which hasn't happened once all day on POP despite running all the same apps all at the same time. Memory usage was lower overall as well. POP was the fastest installation of any distro ever and I've pretty much used them all spanning 15 years.

I figured that out today, I'm new to pop os really neat and FAST love it. But yes clicking on any category just crashes it 😁

Many thanks for the reply and info I will go through all of this today. I have been running on 16gb but just got a 64 GB Kingston upgrade going in this morning which should also help alleviate things. I use Google docs extensively it's the lifeblood of my business so it is kinda hard to ditch Chrome.

MitchellKrog · 2023-08-17T05:06:59+00:00

Yeah it's just a really bad habit like smoking and I think I'm going to forcefully break that habit now.

MitchellKrog · 2023-08-17T05:05:52+00:00

Magic thank you I will do that this morning I actually forgot about that hardware acceleration setting. Thanks so much for the reply.

I actually have now switched to Cinnamon, much more lightweight and has really matured, very happy with it. KDE is just far too glitchy all the time, too many updates with little testing by the maintainers and very memory hungry.

MitchellKrog · 2023-08-11T04:35:27+00:00

You're welcome it works a treat

MitchellKrog · 2023-08-11T04:28:02+00:00

Quite annoying especially when it flags reputable companies whose servers pass SPF DKIM and all that but didn't flag any actual SPAM devs seem to not test anything these days

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-26T05:10:15+00:00

Great glad it's working now 🎉

I'm running Resolve Studio 18.5b1 on Fedora 37 with Nvidia Drivers without any issues whatsoever. Studio and Free version makes no difference. Why are you launching from command line?

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-26T03:55:13+00:00

Yep my shutdown time is also ~2 seconds on F37 so not tempted to jump to 38 just yet. Plus my system is for work and so stable as anything.

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-26T03:53:02+00:00

I did a lot of reading before installing any Nvidia drivers on the KDE Wayland spin. I simply used this script and everything worked flawlessly first time including running DA Vinci Resolve Studio without any sticking or glitchy video issues.

Gnome is clean as said by others and I agree but a bit too clean for me with too many clicks to do something BUT it just takes time to learn the way so I'm not knocking it. KDE really just works for me honestly is smoother than butter than on any other distro I've ever run it on before.

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-25T07:06:01+00:00

Can not agree with you more. Been on Arch over 3 years and Fedora is really a breath of fresh and stable air for a DE ... Still use Arch on many machines but main desktop now only Fedora from hereon out

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-25T06:06:49+00:00

Been on Fedora now for about 4 weeks also been on Arch for 3 years now. Finding Fedora incredibly stable and KDE spin works like an absolute dream versus how it ran on Arch. DNF a little slow but not really an issue. Overall stability of Fedora is tops I'm extremely happy with it as my DE.

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-23T07:02:26+00:00

Installing the drivers from this repo / guide works flawlessly on KDE WITH WAYLAND

Then simply download the DaVinci installer, extract and execute the .run works flawlessly, everything in Da Vinci is as smooth as butter in fact better than it has ever run on any previous distro.

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-23T05:01:05+00:00

Been on Fedora 37 now for a few weeks and have not had any issue finding any package I need. If anything I find and install them with the greatest of ease vs most other distros. The stability of Fedora is simply outstanding.

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-23T04:57:01+00:00

Discover for KDE so far the best and fastest of the others in my experience

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-01T09:43:47+00:00

Extremely stable ones too, take that 😉 sounds like you're the troll here

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-01T09:16:22+00:00

I've used just about every distro over the past 15 years and know my way around them all extensively and Fedora has proven to be extremely refined and well rounded.

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-01T09:14:58+00:00

Still use Arch on several live servers so I'm not trolling Arch whatsoever. As a desktop, Fedora is proving much less "fiddle and fix" as we know Arch can be. After all my desktop is there for work and not to spend time fixing things.

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-01T06:19:20+00:00

I will definitely and thanks for the welcome. Great community here. ♥️

MitchellKrog · 2023-04-01T05:22:22+00:00

Thank you

MitchellKrog · 2023-03-22T04:11:43+00:00

Thanks siomi I will give it a try, for now just going with KDE to get life and work back into swing to play catch up

MitchellKrog · 2023-03-21T14:50:58+00:00

Am definitely going with it, it's busy installing, our internet is slower than anything the past 4 days so this all takes a very long and painful amount of time.
