Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?

    Isnt pop primarily an extension for gnome? Beyond that and some drivers do they add anything else to ubuntu?

        Pop doesnt have snap installed in my recent install.

        I don’t like gnome in particular but I am too lazy to setup a proper WM on my work laptop for fear of braeking and losing work.

        Have tried fedora gnome with their pop-shell it worked fine otker than a few differences. Some odd behaviors like move next workspace would move it to first or last.

        Nvidia is a pita. It prevents my machine from waking from sleep and I can’t even close the lid because I cant turn off sleep on lid close.

            I too prefer to have just iGPU which the recent ones are more than sufficient for most of my needs. But wanting to try some ML and that most configs with 16+ RAM offerings are mostly gaming laptops with nvidia.

            Although I’ve had some display issues without nvidia too. Previous laptop had issues connecting external monitor. Only some distros had that issue so possibly a misconfiguration or incorrect library was used.
