Pop may be great, but it's useless if you need to run Final Cut Pro. macOS is wonderful, but not if you want to play a lot of AAA games. Windows is fine, but if you are doing a lot of Ruby on Rails you may have an easier path on some Linux distro.

Vnc? I think most people use ssh for remote for Linux which is why it probably doesn’t get much love
Vnc works for the basic use case of viewing a remote screen. It’s a mess for interactive use, especially with the default implementations you can find on Linux imo. macOS’s built in screen sharing is the only vnc server/client combo that has acceptable latency but even it fails to support basic features like dynamic resolution for different clients. And I agree that SSH is definitely far more common; I of course use…
Having switched from macOS to PopOS very recently, it’s been pretty smooth. My only real issue is that Remote Desktop support is worse than macOS which is itself far worse than Windows RDP. I know it’s a Linux/Debian wide problem, but I’d really like someone to step up and bundle something polished out of the box.
All very pretty I'm sure. But, at the end of the day, much though I enjoy twiddling with Linux and poking around different distros, I'm stuck with MacOS because [like a lot of folks who use MacOS for work reasons and not to be 'hipster cool'] I work in the design industry and that means the Adobe suite is a must. Linux has nothing that comes close. And the customary recommendations; The Gimp and Inkscape are so pitif…
Understandable. While I do think familiarity has some impact, I picked up photoshop for the first time much faster than The Gimp, Inkscape was closer but Illustrator was still faster.
For my purposes, running Linux+FL/OSS is worthwhile as a hobbyist however.
I'm curious if you've tried Krita, and if so what your experience was? I found it much much much more intuitive than The Gimp.

Also find it hard to read the article since I see "Pop!_OS" and think they're trying to emphasize something
This is my first time reading about this OS and the naming is very strange to me. I don't understand why they decided to go with "!_" in the middle. It feels a little too techy for a mainstream user. Why not PopOS or Pop OS?
I love the idea and I wish them the best of luck, but as of a couple months ago, they weren't there yet.
This is the distro that LTT used to test Linux gaming, right?

To be fair, they market themselves as "Pop!_OS is an operating system for STEM and creative professionals who use their computer as a tool to discover and create." on the main page for the OS.
I'll admit, I don't love the !_ but for the opposite reason - it feels faux techy to me.
