Me, roasting coffee on a warm night:
Well, that temperature escalated quickly!

I've been using #StarshipPrompt
for the past week or so and it's really nice. Helpful and super snappy

Installing @nextcloud using snaps was so nice - I'm used to setting up all the services apache/nginx etc by hand and snaps made this *so* easy.
The instructions were great, I pointed a subdomain of mine at it, setup SSL with letsencrypt and was off and running very, very quickly.
The interface is nice, it synced down my files on both #macOS and #pop_os and it seems to have a strong plugin library too.
Color me impressed.
✔️ Web browsing - Firefox, great
✖️ Password management - I use 1Password, and it's only available on Linux as a browser extension. It works, but :(
Most other apps you would want are there. I hadn't used Snaps before - they're nice! I've read can have performance issues but I didn't experience any trouble.
I noticed in the settings there's integration with @nextcloud, so I setup a nextcloud install for fun...
General computery apps [salute] on #pop_os are a mixed bag. The calendar/contacts apps are nice, email is a HOT mess. Look at this garbage - geary, thunderbird, evolution, all look straight out of 1995. I had hope for Mailspring but after adding my credentials it just gave me a blank screen.
Really besides that though, everything just worked. My oh-my-zsh theme, git, VSCodium, everything just came over. Nice!
For something billing itself as a "replacement for Windows and macOS", I had _much_ higher expectations for the look and feel of #elementary_os.
It looks like a bad mashup of OS X and cartoony linux gui that I remember from who knows how long ago. Also look at the layout on the settings screen. Hard pass.
I said "nope" out loud as soon #mint loaded and immediately reminded me of windows. Maybe that's a good thing for some, but I don't need a start menu ever again.
I'm sure you can change it but 🤷🏼♂️
