I didn't watch the second video, but assume it's just: "Hey, let's see if it's any better now, since this is what I used last time, and it's sold preinstalled on commercial hardware." I don't like Pop!, but I also think the people arguing he should be using something else β regarding a semi-popular, commercially-backed distro commonly advertised as noob-friendly β are hitting the copium too hard.
"But he wants to do gaming!" And I never had to install a special version of Windows because I wanted to do digital art. That's not intentionally making Linux look bad; it's just not going out of his way to doll it up like a burger in a fast food ad. Plenty of people will want to game but don't treat it as their entire identity and therefore won't be looking into "best linux gaming distro 2026 reddit".
I liked JayzTwoCents' video because he has an expert walk him through it and chooses Bazzite since he's doing it specifically to evaluate gaming, not how good he is at using it. For a video where somebody is trying to assess the state of Linux for a normal user new to Linux, I don't want an expert hovering over them the entire time, and within reason, I want them to pick what appeals to them.
I'm over here having a great time on Endeavour, but I got turned off of Linux for years after trying Ubuntu as a daily driver for several months and running into issues constantly. My actual Linux experience was eerily similar to Linus' first video (it nuked my entire config twice), and I probably would've gone back to Ubuntu as a test if I were doing it for an audience and not for myself.
What happened on Pop! this time, by the way? COSMIC issues?
Yes, encountered a bunch of cosmic related bugs.
What did he do this time?

Ubuntu on a desktop, mint on an older laptop, and Pop_OS on my daily driver laptop...
What am I doing wrong here?
at least mac has a functional filesystem and shell lol
I feel like Mac is the right option for "normies". Windows is basically malware at this point.

I have personally had a lot of issues with pop os on my laptop (related to power management, waking up the WiFi card, overheating leading to a kernel panic, GPU refusing to go to sleep), which disappeared as soon as I installed Endeavour OS.
I just put my dad on kubuntu like two weeks ago he loves it
