 Pop OS 1910 is out and available and I updated my system to it Unlike the windows world when there's a new release you kind of do the cringe and break for impact or if you own it company like me You go wow, this is going to generate a lot of People calling us and system problems, etc. etc When it comes to Linux generally speaking and so far 1910 has been no exception Moving to a new version as there's incremental upgrades has not been a big deal Not to mean there's no problems at all But you know going to give my first impressions here of pop OS 1910 so being that it's an Ubuntu derivative and The 1910 version of Ubuntu came out all the systems that are based off of Ubuntu 10 are going to have their updates and pop OS being no exception got theirs out relatively quickly here only within a couple days of the Ubuntu release Now before we dive fully into the content I want to take a quick second to spot think a sponsor the channel which is it pro TV and they have an entire course here You can get started with Linux the whole com Tia Linux program So if you want to do the testing get certified or just do some learning through with some binge-worthy content IT pro TVs get your cover They have a ton of different Linux videos and Microsoft videos and network engineering videos So they have a wide variety of content check them out and if you're gonna check them out Why not get 30% off and use the LTS offer code so you can try it pro TV free for seven days when you sign up With a premium or standard monthly membership get 30% off use promo code LTS at checkout great content and by the way this is a Channel affiliate that we reached out to become a channel affiliate because we were already using this is a tool we use over here at Lawrence systems to do our staff training and Keep track of all over staff and I encourage all of them to a lot of extra learning I just can't make a video about everything, but boy they seem to have man They've covered so many different topics and myself I find myself watching some of their content when I want to learn about a new subject as well that oh, you know Like I said, I got knowledge caps myself and IT pro TV's been a great way to fill some of those I like videos and I like making videos and so do the folks over at IT pro TV There's also some other Philly it's down below You can check out to help out the channel and it's much appreciated while you're there click the like button back to the content so I love system 76 is pop OS it puts the right amount of polish to me on a Bunt to now. I did try a bunch of 19 town I have a nurse system running as I've been playing around with it But I miss right away the polish and enhancements I get with the system 76 Sitting on top of it now one of the first things I want to note is they bring the 5.3 colonel there Why does that matter? Well the 5.3 colonel and we'll go ahead and drag my terminal over here The 5.3 colonel which is currently 5.3 oh 18. This is what pop OS runs by default I did not customize any of this and they are noticing Substantially and they've got the much more details on the performance enhancements with the Ryzen 9 3900 X and that is the chip that I'm specifically running But the whole Ryzen series of processors the 5.3 colonel has been you know very Focused on an enhancing gaps that we're missing so there is not that you didn't get good performance out of it You get amazing performance even running the outer kernel But there's some of those fine tweaks that get it that much faster, which is pretty exciting So that's the first thing I know it's now does it feel faster? Sure But that's a really non subjective non scientific way, but I will tell you that the system seems super snappy and responsive Etc, but it always it was before I won't lie The one problem I'll highlight first is this one Kaden live their PPA Their repository that I had added on broke and it doesn't seem to like a bunch of 1910 And which means also it doesn't like system in 76, but you're probably wondering how did I upload net at this video? Did I use another tool? Nope. I use an app image So if I run the app image a Kaden live, which actually gives me one slightly Newer version it works perfectly fine Maybe I should do a video on app image sometime of app images in short a way to package an entire Application without having a bunch of dependencies and this is really helpful in terms of things like Kaden live because any of your video editors They have a lot of dependencies on different libraries for some of the compiling editing and having it all packaged into an app image Means they get exactly the ones that are gonna be the most stable and most compatible with Kaden live So that was my workaround for the one thing I found it didn't work But everything else works perfectly fine inside of system say six that tried so all my utilities I usually run in all the systems so far no problems at all They did keep the menus at the top pretty much the same so the notification menu with the do not disturb button That is not there on The Ubuntu distro at least at least I didn't see it. Maybe there's a way to add it But the native default didn't have it installed as silly as that sounds. That's really nice And the integration carried over from my upgrade of having my Google calendar Tied right in here for my business. So all the calendar notifications show up right at the top. Just fine Theme updates. You may notice the dark theme. So let's actually go over here and we'll switch over and look at the appearance So first we have some previews here of how you can change the wallpapers and didn't feel like changing wallpaper a matter of fact I mostly have applications open. So I don't think much about wallpaper But I can quickly and I mean fast if you like the different thing between light and dark Please note it takes no time to switch. This is all in real time here. I like this I used to remember back in the day when you switch on the themes It was like a pause and the system would re-render in some of the applications that have errors and etc So you can go I like to like theme. I like the dark theme whatever you're comfortable with you can switch I'm partial to the dark themes and including they did mention that they updated the terminal to mansion theme But I like my custom terminal much better This is on github you can find it on my github if you want this custom prompt The only thing I'll mention which it'll get updated because I'll push it up to github when I've launched Tmux I get a couple errors It was Tmux works fine. I can still split the screens fine, but there is a Some tweaking I must have to do my my guess to be its newest version of Tmux and some flags I have tied in there not compatible This is actually why I published my dot files on github because after I figure out what those are I'll do a push back up to my github and then a pull on all my other systems that are running us So they all have the latest terminal All right back to the other changes So besides a dark mode and 5.3 kernel both those things are really good There is some enhancements in the gnome because it's the latest version gnome and how fast it runs honorable mention though I don't use TensorFlow But this is one of those things that Papa West does a good job of and they added some TensorFlow enhancements Now these are all things. Yes, you can add on to a Linux distribution or add on to a bunch of they've baked a lot more of it Right in to make it a little bit easier. So if you're doing Some work with TensorFlow and need some of the utilities they make it nice to tie all that in there Which is pretty cool. So this is the gnome 3 3 4 redesign background panel landed Icons and application overview can be grouped together. This is actually pretty cool. So we'll pull up all the icons here And let's say, you know, some of them are group some of them aren't so here's the utilities So here's all the two utilities and if we wanted something in or out We can just kind of drag it in or out now the other thing they have to make this a little bit more enhanced Is let's say you want to put two things together if you do this It'll group them together into utilities and name it and if you take and only have one thing in a group and drag it Out it ungroups it reminds me a lot of the way the Android interface works as well You can just drag things on top of each other It's kind of nice because then you can start grouping things together But I honestly as cool as that is it's not something I ever use and the reason why my Habit for launching is really never even clicking this. It's novel if I try to remember the name of something I can't remember the name but normally I would launch something by this so I don't you know hit the super key and Just open up the tool that I want opened That's my habit of doing it so it's not it's to me. It's not what they did it So it's cool that I can do that but I think of applications I know what applications I want to run so I'm really struggling to decide so my usual launch It's just super key and open them up now. They did make this just as nice as ever Nothing's really changed here for adding things and opening up things on a different desktops that still works It's just absolutely smooth like it always has and this is one of those enhancements when you know Windows says Oh, we're gonna do some virtual desktops as one of the things that once you get used to using and having all these virtual desktops I really like the way that works. This is a gnome feature and it's something that's always worked really well for me And I do like it. The other thing that is in here is the upgrade process itself has changed Oh, there's a few other around here. I just so I see it. There are some more language options So if your language reads not from left to right, but from right to left, they did add some bi-directional I will mention that because I know I I only speak English not people ask me to translate and other things I don't speak in their language. I can't do any better than the System translations as I do realize over a little over 50% a lot of my Linux videos and sometimes higher on my network engineering ones Are viewed out of country So I do appreciate that there's a lot of this work going on and I feel terrible because I don't speak other languages I'm jealous that other people do and maybe one day I'll take the time to learn one. That's not today but the upgrade process went really really smooth because It shows up as an upgrade. So in the about screen you have this upgrade It does this whole offline upgrade and offline upgrades are now live on popo s194 bringing faster more reliable upgrades when upgrade becomes available It is downloading your computer Then when you decide to upgrade to newest OS version upgrade will overwrite the current version your software However, there's not to be confused with an automatic update Your OMS will remain on a current version till you decide yourself to upgrade This was kind of me because it downloads it and it says ready to reboot just reboot and it lets you know It's gonna do it and we we go now I didn't have any problems But like I always tell people backup backup backup make sure backups have anything critical on your system And I will be doing a video about how I maintain backups on systems Because I don't do on my desktop or laptop full image backups and people have asked why and I'm like You don't need to in Linux and I'm gonna do a video that breaks that down a little bit further pretty soon But other than my first impressions have been granted only ever 24 hours my first impressions have been I like it It works well. I haven't had any issues besides Caden live I tested all the applications and it all my usual Things that I do from a daily basis, but it's nice buttery smooth everything works fine And yeah, so far no problems at all, but I don't really expect any as much as I'm excited for new features I rarely have the whole brace for impact Mine and the minor integration about Caden live and then having a run app image is it's probably an edge case that most people Won't have an issue with because not many people are doing video editing and everything else here But tools like gimp. They work perfectly fine, which is great and Caden live I if I use the built-in Caden live, it would work It's only me adding the extra repositories that I add is having a problem So I will make sure a note of that and I run that because I want to run the latest version of Caden live So it's kind of a me problem because I'm trying to run bleeding edge on a on a system versus some people go I'm just a casual video editor and I'm fine with running a slightly older version No problem. You can use the built-in to the pop shop And load the version they have in here And does it say what version it is? 1908 to so it's going to be a little bit behind compared to the one that I downloaded from the app image, but you know, like it said minor Minor so 1908 b2 versus actually what version they show oh 1908 to so other than the b2 after it they're actually gonna be pretty close So I'll have to look at that. I didn't look at that till right now So you learn something new with me on the video.
