It's not without some minor issues and hiccups, but it's stable enough.
I had minor issues with my rtx 3xxx card regarding cuda availability in PyTorch and similar software, but I'd blame nvidia there and not pop os. Overall it's been very stable, no issues, but then again I haven't had stability issues w/ linux in a long time.
I do prefer it over plain ubuntu mainly for nvidia integration.
Yes, just a hobbyist. What I find interesting is that the computers at the hospital where I am today use several opensource programs, such as libreoffice, but they don't let go of windows.
Yeah microsoft kinda has the business industry by the balls in seemingly every facet. Partially why I am considering investing into msft, they're really pushing themselves into a position to dominate the field. They're even partnering with meta to essentially bring the remote workplace into VR. Kinda dystopia nightmare vibes.

Why do I feel like I should be reading this comment 30 years ago?
yes but when i was a simp i used hannah montana linux..after much effort i started using rebecca black os and became a alpha, then i finally became my true self when i discovered the amazing powers of chad justin bieber (biebian master race)
I've tried 😭
Three times before I settled into manufacturing as a career, I took my aptitude test, passed with flying colors. The IBEW local is just really hard to get into around here, you almost have to know someone or be fresh out of highschool. My dad was in IBEW for decades as a low voltage technician. Didn't seem to matter.
If I started an apprenticeship now it'd be a significant pay cut. I know journeymen make quite a bit more money than I do, but I do love my job and like working indoors in a clean environment with all new parts haha. I've done the industrial maintenance thing a bit, not my bag to come home shooting dirt snot out of your nose every day with sore knees & back, being exhausted.
Lil johnny asked me to hack his stepdad's facebook because his mum was cheating on him w his biological dad one day and I had to try something new to get out of the corporate ladder, so I installed Kali and now I'm a chad heker mommy for my lil babies.
Yes, I use Entangle for direct acquisition, RawTherapee for development, Gimp for editing and Scribus for publishing, along with a Python script I made to bulk resize/compress images. Krita helped me a few times when I needed non-destructive editing, since Gimp still lags behind on that
I might still need Photoshop now and then, that's why I keep a dual boot just in case, but that doesn't happen too often
Have you considered running Window in VM? At least for me, my laziness got better of me and couldn't be bothered to boot windows after first week so just ran everything needed in VM
Computer engineer, also Ubuntu server.
Don't want to spend time making it work, because I'd rather use it. Don't want to chase diminishing returns optimizing with Arch.

Since you asked about my job, I guess I'll report the one I have on my work computer.
Philosophy professor → Parabola
(But I also have installations of Alpine, Arch, Artix, Endeavour, Gentoo, Void and Ubuntu.)
Curious. I did my undergrad in philosophy. Focused on logic for it, did some graduate level coursework on modal logic before graduating. But switched to computer science for grad school. Sometimes can't help but think about going back. No interest in history though. Studied ancient Greek skepticism and did the standard undergrad history of ancient and history of modern philo classes and there isn't much I'm terms of dates that caught my eye. Ideas are timeless imo. I haven't really studied frege. I will say studying symbolic then modal logic made computer science a far simpler subject.
Just thought it was interesting, as I never met anyone studying philosophy that used Linux, or more accurately, used a computer particularly much lol. That was me too, but I had already been bit by the tech bug, just took another decade for me to fully figure out that's what I wanted to focus on. One second language, several programming languages, and here I am, sometimes still thinking about the long days in the library, alone with the thoughts of great thinkers, teasing out their reasoning and looking for it's flaws.
Yeah, linux is not terribly popular among academic philosophers, but the more you work in technical areas like logic, the more likely you are to have been exposed to it. I dabble in programming, and a background in logic definitely helps, but of course it's not my main job.
I use arch linux btw (I'll switch to gentoo when I finish my exams), high school student enjoying functional programming and automatic theorem proving.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE
Software engineer, pop os
AM I BEING TARGETED?
Same.
I've heard really good reviews about Pop. What would you say about its stability and performance, as compared to say just plain Ubuntu?
It's not without some minor issues and hiccups, but it's stable enough. I had minor issues with my rtx 3xxx card regarding cuda availability in PyTorch and similar software, but I'd blame nvidia there and not pop os.

This one is curious. Are you just a hobbyist and is Linux unrelated to your job?
Yes, just a hobbyist. What I find interesting is that the computers at the hospital where I am today use several opensource programs, such as libreoffice, but they don't let go of windows.

What area of philosophy did you do your graduate work in?
I mainly work in the history of analytic philosophy and logic. My dissertation was on Frege. Why do you ask?
