I appreciate Pop!_OS for its seamless support of Nvidia drivers. Unlike many other distributions I've tried, which often made configuring drivers a hassle, Pop!_OS simplifies the process. Additionally, I value its tiling window manager features for their user-friendliness and configurability, which significantly enhances my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing too serious, but I've noticed that either my system or Pop!_OS itself takes a bit longer to boot up. Additionally, unlike some other operating systems, Pop!_OS doesn't have a booting logo by default. Moreover, I've encountered some slow scrolling issues in Neovim and VSCode, particularly when using different window managers like i3wm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
