Whimper.

(Newbie user here.) Mr Pop! offered updates for my #Linux box when I logged in yesterday. "Cool!" I said, & clicked "yes." Today my Dock doesn't have icons 😟

I'm guessing the update(s) were, as they say, "unevenly distributed"? (To be clear, there were icons there yesterday.) #PopOS

Mon avis sur Pop!_OS

PopOS! finally lets me update my function keys to control volume!

Last thing I need to make this my daily driver is to actually blank the freakin' screen when I don't touch it for a while.

#PopOS #Cosmic had been going okayish for the last couple months but something recently regressed pretty bad and is making me crazy again. It's hard-locking my laptop multiple times a day, and my Bluetooth mouse doesn't work anymore despite it finding and connecting to it. Really feels like alpha software again.

Just installed the latest updates and will continue doing so until it stabilizes. Maybe someday I'll learn to not update it if it's not broke 🙄

Here's what my neofetch looks like if anyone was wondering.

After some frustration yesterday, I am now very satisfied with #PopOS. I successfully have it skipping the login screen and opening Steam automatically on boot. I don’t have it launching into Big Picture Mode as it’s annoying to get out of if I want to do something on the desktop but with a press of the Xbox button on my controller it jumps right into Big Picture Mode.

I was having an issue with certain games not entering full screen properly yesterday but that isn’t a problem today for some reason. When I exit a game, Big Picture Mode is windowed instead of full screen but I actually think I prefer that.

Ultimately, I can get in and out of games without needing a keyboard/mouse, which was my main goal, so I’m happy! And I really like how the new COSMIC desktop environment of Pop!_OS looks, especially after I figured out how to customizing it to my liking.
