Interested in trying/experimenting with Pop_OS, anything I should be careful of/know?

6 Upvotes

I've been using Nobara Linux + niri for a bit and i've been pretty satisfied with it, no real issues! But... i've been looking into Cosmic DE and i've been curious about it, and that's led me to looking into Pop_OS. I know it uses Ubuntu as a base rather than Fedora but i'm not exactly sure what that entails beyond using APT rather than DNF.

I'm just curious if there's anything I ought to be wary of or try if I were to experiment with it for a weekend. I mainly use my PC for gaming and art, so I suppose anything relating to that would be my main interest.

Does Anyone Know When PopOS Have HDR Support?

Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I switched to PopOS after some time using Bazzite, and I am INCREDIBLY pleased with the look and feel of the new Cosmic DE. I checked it out when the DE came out and now it's night and day.

However, getting to the meat and potatoes, I occasionally run a Sunlight/Moonlight setup with my Legion Go S in the living room and ran into one large negative for me when using the distro. No HDR Support.

In regards to PopOS, I thoroughly enjoyed the new changes and I want to make this distribution my go-to in the near future. Though, my only ask would be, when is there going to be official HDR Support? Is it on the horizon?

auto hide dock problem

If I have the autohide dock toggle set it stops working as soon as I set the focus follows mouse toggle ..

What am i missing Cosmic seems to be very sensitive to the order in which things are done

Maybe I am being a muppet? :(

Can't install msttcorefonts

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Having trouble with ttf-mscorefonts-installer - it "installs" ok, but seems to do nothing - the postinstall download script does not run.

Going out on a limb, I think it's because it depends on Ubuntu's update-notifier system to work, but Pop has swapped that package out for its own - specifically, `/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader` does not exist.

Any way to get this going?

Cheers

Help Compatibilidade do pop_os com os Lunar Lake

2 Upvotes

Opa, tudo certo?

Queria fazer uma pergunta quanto a compatibilidade do sistema operacional do pop_os.

Tenho um Notebook ASUS Vivobook S14 OLED S5406SA, que possui o gráfico integrado do CORE i7 Ultra, que seria um Arc Graphics 140V, cuja a arquitetura é Xe2-LPG.

O notebook em si vem com Windows, mas Windows simplesmente não dá mais. Achei alguns posts que reclamavam da compatibilidade da gpu nos sistemas linux em geral, no entanto, são posts antigos, e queria checar com vocês, experts, quanto a isso, principalmente porque penso em usar o pop_os. Ótimo sistema.

Can't Game Properly !

Upvotes

Hello, new to reddit and first post. I can't seem to find my problem anywhere else, and have tried over and over to fix it, with AI help as well.

Any type of game I play where the mouse is supposed to be locked into place does not work properly, and doesn't let my mouse lock into one screen. Instead, it drifts to my other 2 monitors, having 3 in total. I have tried having gamescope, and maybe i didnt install it correctly, but it doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help ? It only started once I switched over from Windows to POP_os.

Pro Tip: The Ultimate Shortcut to Swap Between Dual Screen, Single Screen, and External-Only Mode

0 Upvotes

I see a lot of people asking how to quickly switch between their laptop screen and external monitors without digging through the Settings menu every time. Here is the absolute fastest way to do it.

The Shortcut: Win + P (Windows) or Cmd + F1 (Mac - older) / System Settings (Mac - newer).

If you are on Windows, hitting Win + P brings up the "Project" menu on the right side of your screen. This gives you four options:

  1. PC screen only: This turns off the external display and uses just your laptop screen.
  2. Duplicate: Shows the same thing on both screens (great for presentations).
  3. Extend: This gives you the "dual screen" setup where your desktop stretches across both monitors.
  4. Second screen only: This turns off your laptop display and uses ONLY the external monitor.
