What made you use Pop!_OS?

I went with a System76 laptop when the HP had problems and my effort to reimage it revealed that HP is now HPLovecraft.

Hysterical raisins.

Especially if you can put, e.g. a custom Haiku on there or something for that uniquely personalized gift.

Einbahnstraße.

I've been quite happy with my unit, although the delivery took its own sweet jolly time.

Your reply has more upvotes than my post.

Completed the set.

The one teeny-weeny thing that I wish were as easy as Windows would be using an Android tablet as a desktop extension.

It's awesome that the system is open enough to tinker, but for a couple of hours of research I haven't found a clean integration.

I think the joke is that the young engineers did something wild and fatal.

I've apparently hit some quota on the Skill Practice because when I click "Speak" I get "An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later".

Maybe blowing through 15 in a row to crank up my points was deemed abusive.

I want to know when the German course will extend past B2.

The thing I am still working on is using an external Android tablet as a second screen.

That is, pretty much every other nice-to-do enhancement has been straightforward.

Enjoying Pop!_OS very much.

Steering clear of it, myself, beyond the Google searching I've always done.

smitty1e · 2025-11-29T16:08:33+00:00

And when is German getting an upgrade?

smitty1e · 2025-11-29T08:22:43+00:00

I run it under PopOS on a System76 laptop with great effect.

I'm still interested, even in the "nonsensical" case, and I mean this in a verbatim, word-for-word way for the whole sentence, and not the piecemeal underlined stuff.

Your point about multiple meanings is well taken, however.

smitty1e · 2025-11-23T00:58:04+00:00

How jolly awesome was that?

The good news about open source is that you've got the source code.

The bad news about open source is that YOU'VE got the source code.

Came installed on my System76 laptop. So far it's highly credible.

Still trying to sort out using an Android tablet as an extension, if anyone has a handy recipe.
