"Pop!_OS is interesting because, while it may not be my favorite Linux distribution (although the COSMIC desktop is making that harder and harder to say), I use it as my default because it ships with System76 hardware. Because both hardware and OS are created by the same company, Pop!_OS runs like a dream, and that's why I continue using System76's OS."
"I've used and/or tested so many Linux distributions that it makes my head spin. I've even tested distributions that are no longer with us (remember Caldera OpenLinux?). Scattered within that overly long list is a handful of distributions that I would call my favorites (or those I would be happy to use as my default). That list would look something like:"
"That OS, as Sherlock Holmes would put it, is elementary... as in elementaryOS. Why elementaryOS? I could say that it's all about the elementaryOS desktop environment, Pantheon. That's a great place to start, but the reasoning behind my decision doesn't start or end there. It all begins with the elementaryOS tagline, "The thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and MacOS." Thoughtful, capable, and ethical."
Many Linux distributions exist, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, openSUSE, Linux Mint, Arch, Gentoo, and Pop!_OS. Numerous distributions, including defunct ones like Caldera OpenLinux, have been tested and evaluated. Pop!_OS ships with System76 hardware, and the shared hardware-and-software development produces smooth performance and integration. A shortlist of favorite distributions emerges from extensive testing and practical use. elementaryOS stands out as an all-time favorite due to its Pantheon desktop environment and a clear tagline emphasizing thoughtful, capable, and ethical design. The combination of usability, aesthetics, and principles positions elementaryOS as an appealing replacement for mainstream desktop systems.
