POP_OS! is System76's Ubuntu flavored Linux Distro. It has a ton of basic defaults preconfigured including Gnome3 (my ideal). It's easy to break it down to what you want it to be too.
In order to watch Vimeo and Youtube videos properly:
- Enable DRM Video in Firefox Options (this installs Googles DRM Codec Addon)
- Make sure OpenH264 Addon is installed for Firefox
- Install ffmpeg from the repos (installs the actual codecs)
HyperX terminal is the best replacement and easiest to setup of all the terminals.
It handles all the modern fonts and it's a piece of cake to install addons via the hyper command.
Install from the various repos is the recommended method. Use git to install your specialized options.
