I tried Pop_OS! on my gaming laptop last year.

It does have some nice UI improvements.

It is also terrible:

- Suspend did not work

- My GPU would always be activated, which would make my fan run at maximum speed.

- Steam didn't work out of the box, so I never actually played any games, which was the whole point. Steam did work with some effort on regular Ubuntu.

- Eventually, the system became glitchy in record time, i.e. random crashes.

Going back to Ubuntu server edition, I felt like I had been given a new computer again.




I don't have any of those problems on my Dell XPS laptop. Installed it in October-ish.


Same for me. Ran perfectly on my Thinkpad X1E (including for gaming!).
