Pop!_OS

Gnome with a bit of a macOS twist. I really like it. I’m excited for Cosmic!

What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.

I really like it. I tried several distros for my first dedicated desktop Linux machine and pop was the one that clicked. I like that it’s not trying to mimick windows UI, and only sorta behaves like macOS. Everyone else was too close to win10. Which I understand is a selling point, so to speak, but I’m so sick of windows that I wanted it to look and act differently.

I would normally agree but then I saw how cool Paperless-NGX is and had a mighty need to self host and get organized. Or at least that’s how I’m justifying it to myself…

I don’t mind them. I like to hear what drove people away from Windows and into Linux’ loving embrace. I’m still pretty new myself, so grain of salt I suppose.

Hell yeah! Welcome, from an admittedly also new full-time Linux user.

Any DE that looks remotely like Windows. My journey to Linux began with a seething hatred of the way Microsoft does pretty much anything. Including the Win10 UI. So when I jumped ship I wanted something completely different. I tried Gnome on a couple distros but ultimately landed on Pop!_OS and really like it!

Ah, ok. That makes more sense. I really like the OS so far. Made my first leap into Linux only mid 2023ish. And it’s been awesome!

Seafile would be sick too, but very unlikely. They have a SeaDrive client, but it’s not quite as nicely integrated as the Gnome stuff.

That seems strange regarding rclone. I’ve used that with success with G drive, backblaze B2, and I drive e2. Any errors or logs you can see?

Came here to say the same. Works pretty damn well too. I also have mine connected to a Nextcloud sever because I’m trying to ditch the big G

Since you sound like you know what’s going on with Pop I’ll ask: what is Cosmic? I understand it’s a DE, but is it replacing Gnome entirely and a new DE built from the ground up? Seems like every update assumes you know more than I do :)

Termius because somehow I glitched the free trial for like 8 months and love having all the hosts saved and synced across devices. The android app is pretty damn slick. Can save frequent commands and has a password clipboard thing, probably not the right way to describe it. That said, if I’m just opening a local sesh on my Pop!_OS desktop I use the bundled one for that.

Ooh…this is interesting. I’m going to look into setting this up. Thanks!

This is me… In general with Linux. So I have a whole section of my Obsidian vault dedicated to troubleshooting and setup steps for my server projects. It’s saved me hours of research already. Stupid brain…

My choice as well. I had some weirdness with Steam at first, but was able to get that sorted.

I just setup the remotely save plugin with my Nextcloud instance. It apparently can do version control too.

I went with Pop!_OS because it was one of the least Windows-like DEs. Which is what I wanted after getting so damn sick of their garbage. Kinda macOS though with the dock and all. I dig it.

This time last year I decided I wanted to selfhost services in an effort to take control of my data. Now I run Pop!_OS as my primary OS, host 13 services across 4 different servers, and am having a blast learning.

Prior to selfhostint in earnest I had a Pi-hole instance running on a Pi 3, but those are pretty hands off once it’s setup.

Great app. Switched to it earlier this year.
