Contrary to my comments about wasting time distro-hopping, I was tempted enough by some of pop_os's claims (good hdpi support etc) to give it a try on a spare partition. Probably my worst Linux installer experience yet - it was a mess on my machine (Dell XPS 15). Didn't boot in UEFI mode, then when I got past that it didn't allow me to assign partitions as I wished. I got past that with an installer-bug bypass kludge, and then .. the install itself failed.

When I'm in the programming flow, I kind of love Linux. Everything's super-fast, the UI is unfussy and keeps out of my way, and it mostly kind of leaves me alone.

But when it comes to actually configuring or changing anything, the irritation mounts and I wish we had a real 21st century desktop OS. By the 22nd century, maybe.
