Pop not quite ready for prime time
Pop not quite ready for prime time. The hardware is as promised and is working almost flawlessly (I did have the thunderbolt ports fail and I had to unplug the power, hold down the power button for 60 seconds to reset them). Pop_OS is still rough around the edges and the new version should not be billed as a beginner distro for people fresh from Windows. There are too many things still missing from Cosmic... an easy firewall manager ("Firewall Configuration" can be downloaded from the Cosmic Store but doesn't run), a way to turn off the window tiling when you move close to the edge of the screen, a way to turn off the password requirement for resuming when the screen saver turns on (and the terminal command results in turning off the screen saver all together), etc. None of these are deal breakers, but are just a lot of frustrations especially to those new to linux.
