GNU/Linux is associated as being an operating system for coders and programmers. However, over the last 10 years that has become old news. GNU/Linux comes in many different forms, known as 'flavors' or 'distros'. This simply means different distros are developed for different users or interests. A typical GNU/Linux distribution includes the Linux kernel; GNU OS, a GUI for displaying windows on screen and interacting with input devices, and a desktop environment.

Pop! OS Linux is a great default distro for new GNU/Linux users. Pop! OS is an off shoot of Canonicals Ubuntu Linux distribution created by System76. That means that every software made for Ubuntu is available for Pop!_OS through Pop!_Shop. Pop!_Shop is a minimal and lightweight app store shipped by default in Pop!_OS.  New versions of Pop!_OS  are released every six months, and every other year the developer Canonical releases an LTS (long term support) version of Ubuntu.

The current Pop!_OS installer, for instance, is more straightforward than the one found on Windows 10. The instructions are clear with a clear course of action. The few defult applications  has all the basics to get started. The Pop!_Shop looks great. It includes more than 100,000 pieces of software. Pop!_Shop covers every standard desktop application  you can install your preferred web browser,email software, word processing and spreadsheet applications and of course several little games. You have full access to the web, including streaming websites like Pluto TV, Tubi TV , Pop Corn Flix, Crackle, etc.

Now I will say running a GNU/Linux system is not like running macOS Catalina or Windows 10. Different distributions use different types of packages with different file extensions. Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Debian, and similar distributions use Deb packages with the .deb file extension. PCLinuxOS, Red Hat, openSUSE, and similar distributions use .rpm packages. Things like installing programs is not always straightforward even if you use the distro's built-in app store. However Pop!_Shop  a relative newcomer to the Linux world dose a good job 9 out of 10 time.
