Pop was rock solid for me until it wasn’t. Wouldn’t recognize memory and throttled one of my NICs after I installed an NVidia card and drivers. Reinstalling didn’t help. Installed Ubuntu Budgie and has been smooth sailing since.

I love Linux but wish it wasn’t such a pain and required blowing up installs every so often. By contrast, not once have I had to blow up a Mac OS instance to stabilize it.

To be fair, if you tried running MacOS on the Nvidia hardware you'd have an even worse experience. Nvidia hardware and UNIX desktops go together like oil and water. Reserve your judgement until you try officially supported hardware, if you're willing to do the same for MacOS.
