Pop!_OS support possible?

Open Apacelus opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Is it possible to add support for Pop!_OS(as in: should I even try to)?

Possible problems:

  • Systemd-boot instead of Grub by default
  • Pipewire audio system by default
  • No docker/server/minimal image available

Pros:

  • Based on Ubuntu
  • Different(imo better) built-in gnome extensions(not sure how easy it is to install those on stock Ubuntu) with auto-tiling
  • Snap replaced by flatpak
  • A few fixes to stock ubuntu
  • Very Easy to setup full encryption

@MilkyDeveloper I would be happy to try and implement this, but Id just like to know if its theoretically possible. I am not expecting you to add support to Pop!_OS.

It is based on ubuntu which is based on debian (so It's surely theoretically possible)

Shouldn't be too hard (just pull out the rootfs, look at the docs for custom distros), but I would reccomend waiting a month until I package this up for UEFI.

Now that UEFI breath will be a thing all Linux distros will be supported, so there is no need to support PopOS for "legacy" breath
