I've been using 22.04 for about six months (AI development and some Steam games) - I really enjoy it. The 24.04 upgrade was flawless.

It may sound a little odd but I'd describe my time with Pop!_OS as "quiet". It feels good to be total control again. I don't have to constantly disable things and there isn't a Copilot icon on my dock that comes back from the dead every few days.

Obsidian, 1Password, VS Code, Warp, etc. all work without issue.



AI dev - any chance it works well with nvidia 5xxx series cards?


Yes they have an Nvidia image and I just used it on a 5080 last weekend, worked perfect


Piggybacking on this… do all nvidia cards have the same issue with Linux drivers, where the fan won’t ever go below 30%? I have a 3090 on Ubuntu 24 and hours of googling netted nothing that worked.


FWIW - the fans on my 4070ti super turn off during idle in pop, bazzite, and cachy (just like on windows). Definitely no being stuck at 30% that I’ve experienced


That might just be your card idling at a hot temperature; my 3070 Ti is idling with 0% fan according to nvtop and LACT both.

Install GWE or Lact and you should be able to tweak the fan curves manually from Linux.


Not your question, but 4xxx-series work seamlessly.


It should. The Linux/Nvidia experience is pretty much plug-and-play if you have modern drivers.
