Pop! OS topic / talk / support (all in one)

I noticed raytracing in many games lately when i play with lutris and steam. I never noticed it in Windows. I wonder if raytracing was turned off somehow in windows.

Sample:

Pop! OS 21.10 got released today

Cool! :smiley: Let me know when you finished it!

Installed! the upgrade went very smooth!

Nothing lost...even my manually installed nvidia driver kept installed

The bugs i had in 21.10 beta are all gone. This one looks and feels great!. I did remove the wine repo from hirsute and installed the impish one. This because i installed wine manually in Pop! Os 21.04, Pop! OS 21.10 is based on impish.

Going to install it on my wifes laptop too (HP Pavilion G7-2310ED), she has Pop! OS 21.04 too. Wonder if the wifi and card reader driver needs to get reinstalled. Wifi card needed a newer driver because it got lost in 21.04 after the kernel 5.15 update. Fixed it by following this post.

How is it comparing to Zorin ?

I did not test the latest builds of Zorin, last time i used Zorin was at the end of august/first week of september. It would not be fair to compare with a older release vs a newer one.

You could install two vm's (one with Zorin and one for POP!) and see how that goes.

I agree with this completely. That prospect does not make sense.

All good.. I don't want to try it, I don't like Gnome.hehe

Also I am happy with Xfce now

Well i don't hate GNOME but i do understand the people that complain about way to less customization compared to other DE's. For me i use my laptop only for Games, Internet, Email and some small apps. I don't customize alot because i don't want to break things and i don't really need it.

On the otherhand i do like the looks of Cinnamon, used to have it with Mint 17.x. I did customize back then to see what linux was capable of compared to windows 10 back then. I was really amazed of the things Linux could do.

My older desktop back in 2016, i changed the panel back then :).

Because my games didn't run well (guess because i forgot the proton/runners ?) i swapped back to Windows 10. But this year i completely switched to Linux and never turn back to Microsoft's BS OS
