Nothing important here. I just want to see how many people are moving away from Reddit.

LibreOffice is preinstalled in Pop OS, and as someone who loves the idea of FOSS I want to use it, but inevitably I just use Google docs or Office Online. Is it really worth learning? Has anyone successfully incorporated it into your workflow?

I’ve been using Linux on and off for about 15 years, but was never able to make the leap to using it full-time until PopOS. It’s been painless to use and does everything I need with only minor tweaks. Thank you System76! I can’t wait until the Cosmic DE is released....

I have no experience with Linux, but I’d like to give it a try. I’m looking at the System76 Meerkat and Thelio with the Pop!_OS option....

Totally naive question, but is there any merit to Pop! OS continuing to be based on Ubuntu as opposed to Debian?...

Today I saw someone once again trash System76 for rebranding Clevo machines and writing that off as some kind of deceptive business model. Ultimately, they’re not “just rebranded Clevo…”, but even if they were, the ignorant douchebag posting this misguided rant fails to acknowledge that EVERY SINGLE LAPTOP OEM does the...

Our new, not yet released Rust-based desktop environment for Pop!_OS and other Linux distros is filling out with some essential systems that cater the DE to both users and developers alike. Customization is one of our main focuses for COSMIC, and was a huge focus for us in August, too.

If you can't find something that meets your needs, let us know what we need to add! We can often offer options beyond those in the system configurator.

Pipewire natively supports a filter to create a 7.1 virtual surround sound device that will work with any headphones or earphones. It’s not well documented, so I decided to write a step-by-step guide for enabling it in Pop!...

COSMIC updates regarding window resizing, wallpaper settings, notifications, fractional scaling, and localization

I’m using the virt-manager to install Pop!_OS on a virtual machine from the latest ISO image (…38.iso) with QEMU for testing:...

Reviewing some of the latest updates with the cosmic terminal, files, and more.

I’m exploring ways to shave a few seconds off of my boot time, and I came across a post that stated, “my initrd is pretty small–doesn’t really load much–and Arch also defaults to using zstd which is also faster to decompress versus gzip.”...

So I just replaced my graphics card with an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT as I was having issues with Nvidia drivers. I replaced the card and then removed the Nvidia drivers with ’ sudo apt purge ~nnvidia '. I then restarted the computer....

The display preview in cosmic-setting's wallpaper settings page will now show how the wallpaper will look like with the scaling mode selected. There's currently "Fit to Screen", "Stretch", and "Zoom"....

COSMIC Tweaks gives you granular control over everything you can do in COSMIC....

Having problems trying booting into Pop Os after todays updates....

Want ads? Because this is how you get ads. And not just ads, but targeted tracking and surveillance. Google wants to embed DRM in the entire web, and control it! They would be the ones who attest to what can be seen, and more to the point - What YOU see, or what THEY think you should see. Make no mistake, Google is an...
