Wow this is one productive channel, many thanks Brandon.

Thank you for the tutorials, nice video as always!

I ended up uninstalling 21.04, I had problems with Bluetooth and sound output devices. I got a work-around but it involved going to the terminal every time I switched sound devices... Will try again in a few months, this is a great distro.

I could do with the DAY of the week displayed with the date and time..(I am often not sure what day of the week it is lol) but I have to say they have now made Pop almost exactly what I wanted... another thing I would like is for it to be possible to colour the title bars of open boxes/apps do like the title bar to stand out, It seems to help with the clarity.

New sub here, I enjoy your style and I NEEDED the help. I used mint for some time and being a windows refugee, I got by ok until this last upgrade and things broke. I decided to try pop OS and got a bit sideways but you got me back on track with your customization videos. I'm just stuck with needing a windowish desk top to feel right and I have cinnamon running well now. Going to try thi ubuntu codecs and fonts install next. Thank you for tossing us n00bs a life line!

4:37 I was confused here, is it 'over' button? Later I just tried out and figured it is the Tab button

[usoppgostoso]

Latest version is even better out of the box. Never going back to Ubuntu.

[BJCaasenbrood]

Nice video! Its so weird to see someone running the same distro as you, with paths like "home/brandon" if you're own username is also brandon. It's like your on my PC, haha...

Amazing video, I just started using Linux just for the fun of it and i am loving it so far, but can you tell me more about the firewall settings because i remember in Linux Mint you have to manually enable it.

Boy: The Cosmic Desktop looks amazing! I want Pop_OS now!

[daniel-kun]

When you install steam from the pop_store make sure you get the .deb package.

The flatpak doesn't support multiple disks.

Edit: my latest reply to this comment, will give you a lead on this if you struggle.

this original comment is wrong

The first thing you need to do is the thing the average Windows user, Pop OS is attempting to convert, never has to do. Open a terminal window.

[deadpool]

is disabling animation in pop os save battery and improve performancr ???

[kencole]

I used Windows for three decades, and Pop! OS for three months. You threw words around that I absolutely cannot understand.
