5月1日发布的POP！_OS 20.04有可能成为任何新Linux用户的最佳起点之一。鉴于该发行版的日益流行，它将继续保持这种优势。 这是一个大胆的声明，但是开发人员System76在将该Linux发行版推到最前沿方面已经采取了一些大胆的举措。 该公司在其台式和便携式计算机生产线中预装了POP！_OS。尽管System76为公司自己的硬件创建了一个独特的，基于GNOME的品牌台式机环境，但是它无法发挥Apple的Mac锁定自己的操作系统的游戏。 该发行版可通过两个版本的下载免费获得。一个ISO用于Intel和AMD系统，第二个ISO用于Nvidia图形系统。 在Canonical于2017年决定停止开发Unity 8桌面外壳并用GNOME 3取代内部桌面之后，System76宣布Pop！_OS。 但是，POP！_OS并非Ubuntu GNOME的外观皮肤版本。它涉及更多。 POP！_OS具有一种风格，即GNOME桌面的自定义版本。定制部分是为什么此发行版是Linux新手如此理想的起点的原因。经过调整的桌面环境不会尝试模仿Windows的外观。 经验丰富的Linux用户也有很多理由也被POP！_OS与GNOME桌面的集成所吸引。它强调了GNOME UI的不断改进，并添加了自己的特殊功能，使该Linux OS对任何用户而言都是一个成功的主张。
原文：POP!_OS 20.04, released on May 1, has the potential to be one of the best starting points for any new Linux user. Given this distro's rising popularity, it will continue to hold that distinction.
That is a bold statement, but developer System76, has made some bold moves in pushing this Linux distro to the forefront
The company preinstalls POP!_OS in its manufactured line of desktop and laptop computers. Although System76 created a uniquely branded GNOME-based desktop environment for the company's own hardware, it does not play Apple's Mac game of locking in its own operating system.
The distro is available for free via download in two versions. One ISO is for Intel and AMD systems, and the second ISO is for Nvidia graphics systems.
System76 announced Pop!_OS after Canonical decided to stop the development of the Unity 8 desktop shell in 2017 and replaced the in-house desktop with GNOME 3.
However, POP!_OS is not a skinned version of Ubuntu GNOME as a replacement. It involves much more.
POP!_OS comes in one flavor, a customized version of the GNOME desktop. The customization is partly why this distro is such an ideal starting point for Linux newcomers. The tweaked desktop environment does not attempt to mimic the look and feel of Windows.
Seasoned Linux users have many reasons to be attracted to POP!_OS' integration of the GNOME desktop as well. It emphasizes the continuing improvements with the GNOME UI, and adds its own special features to make this Linux OS a winning proposition for any user.
