Growing up in the 70s one of the staples in our household was the frozen pot pie. It was quick to make and was packed with yummy goodness. Imagine my nostalgic joy when I recently ran into Pop!_Pi from System76. Yep, Pop! OS has been around for a long time but is on its second generation of support for the Raspberry Pi.
Pop!_OS is built on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with notable enhancements. The desktop environment, called COSMIC, is GNOME-based. Performance comes from a scheduler that devotes more resources to apps running in focused windows. Updates are powerful, handling Debian, Flatpak and Nix packages. An excellent support panel is provided. One of my favorite features is the use of kernel 5.15 LTS which provides native read/write support for using connected NTFS file systems. And of course, there’s plenty more meat, vegetable and gravy goodness for this Pop!_Pi.
So, it may not be the old Banquet Pot Pie (I know, I know – the pronunciation of Pop!_Pi probably also brings up memories of the spinach munching sailor with big forearms and a girlfriend named Olive!) but the System76 Pop!_Pi is quick to make and loaded with goodness surrounded by a tasty cover.
Please join us this Thursday, February 15th at 7:00 PM Central (01:00a UTC) at https://lnkd.in/ggqge4Sw for our weekly live, interactive show.
On this week’s show, we will check out the Pop!_Pi version of Pop! OS for the Raspberry Pi. We’ll look at installation, customization and use of this powerful OS. It supports Pi 4 and Pi 5 models making it a great home for a daily driver. If you haven’t tried Pop!, yet, don’t miss this show. Pop runs on Intel, AMD and now Arm CPUs so running it on a Pi is a great long term solution or a platform to give it a spin.
Our weekly, interactive show includes a major topic as well as plenty of interactive tech talk, tech news of the week, projects and plain ol’ fun. If you can’t join us live, you can see the show anytime at the same link, in the play list anytime later. All of our previous shows are piling up in the playlist/archive. You just might find something you’ll like in one of our archived shows as well as the next upcoming episode.
We have a ton of upcoming fun topics on our plate. We would love to hear what you want to talk about or who you want to hear from. Expect new and exciting additions every week. Hope to see you there.
We are a community of folks who appreciate and love to find, talk about and adopt (and sometimes, reject) the latest technological innovations. Please join us on the ground floor of our newly created Discord server to accomplish these goals: https://lnkd.in/gY5D-gWY
