Idk if it’s just me or if it’s because my PC is ancient, but it kind of feels like pop_os is kind of shit. I’m always having some issue or complaint or another with it. My laptop runs mint and I’ve had very few issues, but with pop it feels like I’m fighting the OS every step of the way, from install to daily usage.
Idk, kind of a venting question but w/e
Pop is currently on a rather old branch of Ubuntu that’s near its end of life. And their team seems to be years behind on updating it.
It’s not a great choice for gaming if you’re looking for modern hardware (and driver) support.
It’s probably an issue with loading the newer module. You could troubleshoot this each time you update the driver. But I would suggest using a modern distro such as mint since you’re familiar with it already.
Alternatively you could look at rolling back to a stable Nvidia driver.
