Community Rules
Follow the Code of Conduct
All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct
Be helpful
Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.
Don't post malicious "advice"
It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.
Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.
No personal attacks
Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.
No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

Well I went from zero knowledge to fully on board in record time
Fixed!! lol sorry about that didn't realize the image would take over the link :)
I think I've done that when I made one of my first posts on a Lemmy instance too. I don't know why you can't post a link and also specify an image for the post. Lemmy needs some refinement.
I thought I was legitimately missing something that everyone else was seeing and upvoting. I guess that wasn't the case.
oops I added the link when creating things but it displayed the image instead lol. Thanks Michael for supplying the link!
So I demonstrated both Pop and Mint live usb options to my son and he said he wanted Mint as it ‘looks more serious’ and now I’m wondering how the hell I install Mint as dual boot on an ‘06 MacBook Air.
Is there a ‘more serious’ UI for Pop than the default or do I just let him do his thing and investigate Pop on my own?
Let him do his thing and investigate Pop on your own.
I will for sure. I’m having to play catchup as my lad is super interested in all this and I’m having to quickly get up to speed to understand how best to support it, hopefully there’ll be enough crossover between the different environments that means that as he learns, I do to, in a way that’s useful.
Obligatory thanks for all the FOSS efforts.
They're both based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so under the hood, they are largely the same and will continue to be for the foreseeable future even as Pop!_OS diverges from Ubuntu more each year (in a good way).
Nice!
