I was daily driving Pop_OS before my System76 finally gave it up. I mostly enjoyed the experience, but when my laptop gave it up, I had to run to a big box store and grab a replacement asap. I’m now riding an HP envy touch screen fliptop and (:puke:) windows 11.

I’ve been hesitant to throw linux onto this puppy because frankly, having never had a touch/ flip screen before, I’m really digging it. Has anyone here run linux on a touch screeen? Issues? A specific release I should consider? Any other considerations?

    This doesn’t answer your question, but Pop!_OS isn’t abandoned. They’re just updating it only based on Ubuntu LTS versions, because they’re working on a new desktop.

      I don’t think he was saying that he thought System76 abandoned Pop. I think he was saying he was running Pop on a System76 laptop, and the laptop gave up the ghost.

        Yes. It was a System76 serval.

        Disappointing enough that I’ll never buy system 76 again.
