In the dynamic world of Linux a new Linux distribution is nothing new, but Pop!_OS is something special. Born out of necessity when Ubuntu announced the end of its Unity Desktop in 2017, Pop!_OS has not just filled the void left by Unity, but has carved out a distinct identity in the Linux community. This journey, from an alternative for disillusioned Unity users to the creation of the innovative COSMIC desktop has created a version of Linux that has been very well received. But to understand how we got to Pop! We have to look back at what happened to Unity.

    I’ve been daily driving popos for years on a work machine, and it’s pretty great. Very slick and smooth, and everything I want from a distro. It comes through in every way that Ubuntu has dropped the ball for me. I can’t recommend it enough!
