It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community.
How does the community here feel about this distribution and the company that has brought it to us? How do you feel about the projects that they’re working on, and their goals for the distribution moving forward?
Like, as a bug, right? Not as SOP?
I mean, I get that - as a rare occurrence - shit can go wrong. I wouldn’t blame openSUSE (for example) if that happened during an install. I’d just assume it was a bug and that I was having a shitty day.
It was some new distro that I forgot everything else about. It was very new so it problems were to be expected. I just didn’t expect it to wipe out my disk. I was trying to dual boot.
I get where you’re coming from, it just blows my mind that you encountered this outrageously rare problem that must certainly have been a bug.
You must understand, this was not intended behavior, nor should this ever have happened. I’m very sorry for your experience.
That was many years ago back when Linux was the new kid on the block
Popos has only been around for 6 1/2 years. Linux has been around since the 90s.
It wasn’t Pop OS
Oh, sorry, I missed that, lol
