Egregious bug in this distro on Windows PC
Hi everyone. This was the first linux distro I ever tried for personal use and I'm sorry to say that I'd rather switch back to windows than keep using pop_os.
I switched to Ubuntu and life has never been better.
Here are my issues with this os:
- Window size management: if you've used this distro for a while you'll notice that it sometimes refuses to let you change window size. Why? I don't know. It seems to happen out of nowhere.
- Random glitches when performing random actions: see the video above. Besides that video, it also happens if you've got the gnome extensions together with proton vpn and then hover over the proton vpn extension in the top right of your screen. It also sometimes happens when just hovering with your mouse on the top of windows.
- Bad media player: the media player itself is alright. Not anything spectacular but esthetically better than VLLC. The problem however is that it doesn't close itself off. If you've got around 8 videos lined up. Double press them and then use the cosmic media player. After each press, close the window as soon as the video loaded. Your computer should sound like an airplane at this point and if you look at System Monitor your CPU must be going crazy. Look into resources and you'll see the media player processes eating up all of the resources as if it's streaming 8 different shows on 8 different monitors at the same time.
I can't recommend this os to anyone to be honest.
