I haven't heard much about Pop in the "news" lately. But it has been silently updated with some of the latest and greatest versions of software. It has been very solid for me lately, nary a freeze (knock on wood) and I feel as though somehow the font rendering is even better than it has been.
Anyway, it is a new quarter so I downloaded a bunch of Linux-based distros and stuck them on sticks and booted into them to see how they were. Prepare yourself for my completely scientific and rigorously methodical analysis of each...
Elementary was flaky for me. Perhaps an install to hardware would have been better but... it had a couple of minor issues.
Solus seemed pretty solid, but oddly enough I did not find myself attracted to it as I once was. I guess I will keep an eye on it.
I downloaded a KDE spin of MX Linux. It ran well but the version of KDE was a good bit behind. Still, it worked well.
I downloaded Zorin, it was... uninspiring.
Neon, I like. It is pretty nice but... there are some restrictions. I downloaded Bodhi 5 but did not try it yet, and I also downloaded "stretch" and "buster" to try. Have not gotten to them yet.
That's it for now.
