That's based. I might give PopOS a try when their new DE reaches feature completion (since they don't sell their laptops in my country unfortunately)

Pop is my new go to distro. Even without their own DE, the tweaks to gnome are really well considered and I don't spend an hour unfucking the default environment.

I just don't give it a go sooner because I don't really like gnome 😅 too many things that work differently from what I expect, and too many things I take for granted requires plugins and extensions. From what I've seen, Cosmic is shaping up really well though.

I distro hopped forever until I finally landed on pop, staying on it for a long time before thinking about switching

I was on Pop for a while, if I was still using an Nvidia card I would still be on Pop. Their built in support/installer is just so convenient and seamless for the most part.

Nvidia is just such a pain on Linux. Like if it works then great, but I have had just so many minor problems in the past.

My Nvidia card is essentially just a backup now in my server in case I need video output for a terminal.
