    Pop os is incredibly ancient. I imagine it will explode in popularly when Cosmic is released and the distro gets a refresh.

      2022 was only a year and a half ago, and we ship the latest Linux kernel, firmware, Mesa libraries, NVIDIA drivers and libraries, Pipewire/Wireplumber, ZFS, Firefox, Alacritty, Lutris, Steam, and Rust. Since when did we start considering that to be “incredibly ancient”? The next LTS release is not yet available to base Pop!_OS upon, but we ship newer kernels and drivers than the latest version of Ubuntu.

        Yeah ignore the hate. I really don’t get what that other poster could possibly be missing. LTS versions are where it’s at anyway. I’ve been loving pop and am looking forward to cosmic (when it’s ready). Like you say with all the kernel and libraries updated it’s totally fine to stay on the LTS.

        2022 did not ship the latest of everything. Check the versions compared to Debian, Ubuntu for Fedora. They are all out of date.

        It isn’t a big deal as I use pop os on a work machine with distrobox.
