Pop! OS
Pop OS (stylized as Pop!_OS) is a free and open-source Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and developed by the American Linux computer manufacturer System76. It features the COSMIC desktop environment, a Rust-based and Wayland-only desktop created and maintained by System76. Pop!_OS is primarily designed to ship with the company’s computers, but it can also be downloaded and installed on most PCs.
Pop!_OS provides full out-of-the-box support for both AMD and Nvidia GPUs. Pop!_OS provides default disk encryption, streamlined window and workspace management, keyboard shortcuts for navigation as well as built-in power management profiles. The latest releases also have packages that allow for easy setup for TensorFlow and CUDA.
Pop!_OS is maintained primarily by System76, with the release version source code hosted in a GitHub repository. Unlike many other Linux distributions, it is not community-driven, although outside programmers can contribute, view and modify the source code. They can also build custom ISO images and redistribute them under another name.
Pop!_OS primarily uses free software, with some proprietary software used for hardware drivers for Wi-Fi, discrete GPU and media codecs. It comes with a wide range of default software, including LibreOffice, Firefox and Geary. Additional software can be downloaded using the COSMIC Store application, or on older versions, the Pop!_Shop package manager.
Pop!_OS uses APT as its package manager and initially did not use Snaps or Flatpak, but Flatpak support was added in version 20.04 LTS. Software packages are available from the Ubuntu repositories, as well as Pop!_OS's own repositories. Pop!_OS features the Cosmic Desktop, a custom interface made with Rust, with a Pop!_OS theme.
There is a GUI toggle in the GNOME system menu for switching between different video modes on dual GPU laptops. There are four display modes: hybrid, discrete, compute, and iGPU only.
There is also a power management package developed from the Intel Clear Linux distribution. Pop!_OS currently uses the desktop environment COSMIC which is wayland-exclusive.
TensorFlow and CUDA enabled programs can be added by installing packages from the Pop!_OS repositories without additional configuration required.
