Comments by "" (@dingokidneys) on "Pop!_OS is switching to yearly releases. Here's why that's fine." video.
I've been playing with Pop!_OS and its tiling interface for some time on a REALLY old laptop (2008) but the upgrade to 22.04 seemed to break the wifi support; I have an ancient Broadcom wifi adapter. So I switched back to LinuxMint. I really missed the tiling interface 'cause keyboard stuff is so much faster than trying to mouse around on a laptop. Consequently, I re-did a clean install of Pop!_OS 22.04 and re-loaded the wifi driver I needed and it worked beautifully. Must have just been a glitch in the upgrade. i3 and some other tiling WMs that I've tried seem a bit too hard-core for me but Pop!_OS seems to have just enough of that secret sauce to make things really snappy without going full Spartan. I really hope they get the full Cosmic desktop done and made available in other Linux distro's because I'd love to try it on a stripped back Arch install.
