According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2% marketshare but at that time the Steam customer size in absolute numbers was much smaller a decade ago than it is now. So if the percentage numbers are accurate, this is likely the largest in absolute terms that the Linux gaming marketshare has ever been.

Pop OS is the new Ubuntu if anything.
Kinda sad people dismiss Linux Mint, but I can definitely see how PopOS can appeal more to users.
I have used Pop!_OS and nothing but it, for almost three years on my computer; I am sure there are sexier distros out there, but it gets the job done. Nothing wrong with Mint either.
