Pop! Linux

This looked like a potentially good Linux distribution. The windows have a distinct outline. When they overlap in dark mode, they are easily distinguished.

And it has a separate program launcher,

Installing was done twice, the first time I did not remove the SD Card, and it rebooted to the removeable drive. Previous installs had prompted when to remove the Card. Eventually it was ready.

I can’t get the second monitor to work correctly. The top bar and launcher are copied onto both monitors. While windows can be dragged across, this is a weird way of doing things.

It turns out that the launcher cannot be moved. Programs can be pinned to the launcher, but I can’t re-order them. Getting the applications comes from the ‘Applications” menu at the top of the screen. And it is not possibly to drop any icons on the desktop.

The adventure game Kathy Rain will run, but only in windowed view. And it has extremely glitchy sound. The mouse is too small, with no way to change it.

This is very underwhelming. It has the utility of the Atari ST interface from 1985.
