The pop_os subreddit has many Pop!_OS-specific help requests per day. I’m kind of surprised there aren’t more here on the Fediverse/lemmy side of the community.

I browse looking for ways to help, and after having shifted my attention from Reddit to the Fediverse I feel like I could be helping out more. Why aren’t there more requests here?

    Smaller user base, and pop is pretty much dummy resistant from the get-go. It isn’t my primary choice, but I’ve installed it for other people and it’s very easy to work with.

    Plus, there’s already plenty of info out there for a quick search

      Not only is it extremely easy to install and use, but it handles one of the more difficult aspects of Linux for new people extremely well (gaming and proprietary graphics drivers). And it doesn’t do anything too exotic or unusual compared to Os’s people might be familiar with.
