I swapped from Windows 11 to Pop_OS and it’s been pretty awesome. For all the games I play it’s been buttery smooth.

Community Rules
Follow the Code of Conduct
All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct
Be helpful
Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.
Don't post malicious "advice"
It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.
Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.
No personal attacks
Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.
No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

One thing i learned is not to f*ck up the .profile file. Otherwise the system gets bricked. XD But with the installation usb ( almost like a rescue usb ) i could remove the bad lines in there.
But that is rather my fault ;D
My .profile is quite customized (I just added a lot of exports) and it all works fine... what did you do?
I added some lines of code referencing a file and i accidentally removed that one
Most of the points never bothered me but I do agree on the last one. Compared to other distros' stock app stores the pop shop isn't great. But I think it should easily be possible to use a different app store app (at least for flatpaks).
