    From their website:

    "Update on Your Terms

    Pop!_OS provides the latest features and security patches through rolling updates and periodic OS version upgrades, to be performed at your discretion. And if you want a clean slate, the Refresh Install feature resets your OS while preserving the files in your Home folder. "









  • I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.

    I couldn’t install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn’t work 100% for me.

    I couldn’t get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it’s a known thing, simply I didn’t know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn’t edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.

    Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn’t use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn’t have dnf for example.

    There were other little things I’m used to tinker on my system and couldn’t so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.
