Company , specialized in the production of laptops, PCs and servers supplied with Linux, distribution release , which is being developed to ship on System76 hardware instead of the previously offered Ubuntu distribution. Pop!_OS is package based and features a redesigned desktop environment based on a modified GNOME Shell. Project achievements licensed under GPLv3. ISO images for x86_64 architecture in versions for NVIDIA and Intel/AMD graphics chips (2 GB).
Pop!_OS comes with original theme , a set of icons, other fonts (Fira and Roboto Slab), , an extended set of drivers and GNOME Shell. The project develops three extensions to GNOME Shell: to change the power off/sleep button, to permanently display thumbnails of virtual desktops in overview mode, and to view detailed information about the program by clicking on the icon with the right mouse button.
In the new version:
- A new dark mode has been proposed. The default theme has been redesigned based on the Adwaita theme. The dark and light themes use contrasting colors from a neutral palette that does not tire the eyes. Work has been done to check the correctness of the display of all widgets. Added new sound effects that play when an external storage device or charging cable is connected. The sound accompaniment of the volume change operation has been stopped;
- Added Tensorman utility to manage Tensorflow toolkit in an isolated Docker-based environment. Tensorman allows you to run scripts in a container with Tensorflow, choose a version for projects and individual operations;
- GNOME components updated for release with support for grouping application icons in overview mode, an improved wireless configurator, a new desktop wallpaper selection panel, and work to improve the responsiveness of the interface and reduce CPU load.
- Added the ability to upgrade the distribution in offline mode, in which all components are first downloaded into the system to upgrade to a new major release, after which the user can initiate their installation when he deems it necessary. In the configurator, in the detailed settings section, as well as in the notification about the formation of a new release, there is a button for downloading updates without installing them. To actually start the update, you must click this button a second time after the updates are downloaded and the button changes its appearance.
