Thanks for the post, just sent $30 through

I’ve not had UI issues but agree on the Pop Shop. The next iteration with Cosmic looks to be significantly improved at least

PopOS has an ISO with Nvidia drivers included, no issues gaming straight away on my old 1080ti. As I’m a simpleton who just likes their system to with I’ve stuck with it even after upgrading to an AMD card

Edit: ignore comment, didn’t realise it was about the Deck initially!

I’ve got a SP8 which I’ve been running PopOS on since the start of the year. The cameras don’t work but this isn’t a deal-breaker for me, it runs smoothly and is perfect for my needs as a media consumption device (music, movies, comics) with some browsing. There were some issues I had on installation but nothing that couldn’t be resolved. Many thanks to the Linux surface team!

I use it on my Surface Pro 8 with PopOS as Xorg doesn’t work properly

It’s not fanless but I was also thinking of the Lemur Pro. Apparently System76 will be bringing out a new design though next month

I’m on Pop too, mainly looking forward to Cosmic because… It’s got a cool name. The actual features are gravy to me

I’m also having this issue on my desktop with Firefox flatpak connected via Ethernet and Librewolf deb on my Surface Pro 8 via WiFi. On the SP8 it opens immediately on disabling WiFi or switching off my VPN which seems bizarre but at least partially lines up with your experience.

I’m an uninformed casual on Linux but if I can help diagnose/resolve this lmk
