Been watching your videos for at least 3 years. Remember when you recommended PopOS. I said to myself "if this guy recommends, i will try". Took 1 afternoon to find replacement for my old windows apps. Installed it, and since then (2 years and running) I am the happiest laptop user in the planet. NEVER had 1 single issue. There is no way back to Windows.

I was actually able to install Pop OS in an old surface go 1st gen and it is now usable! great work Pop OS team!

[painedpineapple]

Yeah, once you use auto tiling in Pop!_OS it’s really hard to go back. That in combination with the default keybindings makes it an absolute ergonomic dream.

Video is great as always. I appreciate the time you take to put these out. Thanks Jay, wishing you the best!

[andersthorsen]

Great video. I like when the review contains the most important parts from the change log. I have been running Pop!_OS for almost 2 years now coming from the Windows world and I am still surprised over the performance, speed and features that Linux distros offer and with Pop!_OS anyone can get a good start to learning about Linux in an easy way.
Just to give a short comparison; I work in as sysadmin and i recently upgraded a very powerful and 1 year old laptop from Windows 10 21H1 to 21H2, which took about 40 min. I also recently upgrade my Pop!_OS to 22.04 on my 4 year old office laptop and it took about 12 min.

Well done for showing the popOS properly installed and not through a VM (like many other youtubers do, choosing the easy way). That way we can see the real behavior of the OS with real hardware.

[DannyMexen]

Your videos helped with my Linode boxes. And I finally tried Pop!_OS. It's really well done.
Thanks for the videos. Keep it up!

POP OS has been my daily driver for a couple of years now. It is the only linux distro I have not distro hoped from. It has worked flawlessly on an old HP desktop I had lying around. upgrading to the latest 22.04 as I type this. I've tried many distros and over the last 8 years since I first got into linux, and POP just works, and love the look and feel.

[jonathanrider]

I am a big fan of your channel - keep up the great work!
I have just tried Pop OS on a new laptop that already has ubuntu 22 and mint 21. Most installs give an option to install "alongside" existing os's - but not Pop OS. I was afraid I borked my previous installs but managed to recover my grub loader by installing mint again. All is good now and Pop OS looks to become my new fav OS! Installing multiple OS's is confusing for noobs like me so you might consider a segment focused on that. Anyway - best wishes for a fabulous New Year!

[gregoryhorwitz]

Thanks to you, I found the perfect distro. I’m really happy with Pop_OS. The era of distro-hopping are over for me!
The upgrade was painless.

[ricklakes]

I also enjoy watching your videos. I plan on trying this new version of POP OS on my new computer build when I get done with it.

[CarlosSilva-gykz]

Thank you very much for your amazing help, the only one that explain the installed process properly!

[Magnetron]

Up to now Pop!_OS is my favorite distribution! Works very well with my old computers. Best wishes and greetings from Germany, Ralf

[ironmanlifts]

PopOS is awesome, has been my daily driver for a while. Upgraded last night, it did take a while on my modern laptop with highspeed internet but not too bad.

[theauthenticsteve]

The current Cosmic DE is Gnome with extensions. You can turn them off and start with vanilla Gnome which is what I do because I prefer the extensions I use to the Pop extensions. You can also make Vanilla Gnome in Fedora look just like PopOS Cosmic. Other than Deb vs RPM, I'm having a hard time identifying the difference between my install of Fedora and my install of PopOS and can't think of a good reason to like or pick one over the other.

[kokapeli]

I run Pop Os as my daily driver and love it, System76 are amazing!

[jsega]

Just clean installed it, up and running very fast. Really great OS.

[madcockney]

There are a few items there worth upgrading from 20.04 to 22.04. Incidentally as System 76 continuously updates things and that includes the kernel the latest on POP OS 20.04 is version 5.16.19.

[henriparquet]

Been running Pop!_OS for 3 years now. Switched from MacOS as I was sick of running docker through a VM and couldn't be happier with the user experience. Granted everything is not as polished as MacOS but I spend most of my time in the console and the IDE anyways :)

[dmays]

Took me a little while to warm to your videos TBH. I'm a little high twitch so "cut to the chase" mentality was fogging my brain to start with. No fault of yours. Having had Ubuntu upgrade cross my sights I'm now suffering from FOMO and have found your vids REALLY helpful in reigning that impulse in and considering what/why I should upgrade or whether this is actually something I need to do. I've been using Ubuntu for years and it's helpful to see/consider options every now and then. I'm still undecided about Ubuntu upgrade/switch to another distro (Pop!?) but am thankful for your considered advice and thoughts on this matter. Really appreciate your taking the time to walk your viewers through this process. Thank you!

I didn't see the new power plan selection, featured in the new 22.04 of Ubuntu. I think this is great thing to have on laptops and must have feature to quickly toggle your power plans.
