I had similar thoughts when I first discovered Pop!_OS. Just the name alone gave me vibes of some Fisher-Price toy operating system like it was meant for children, all cringe happy-smiley.

But I honestly suggest you get over your aversion to the name, and give it a try. It's actually one of the most pleasant desktop experiences I've had with Linux, and it's especially a treat on bare metal. Looks great, runs great and everything just works, including steam gaming.

Yeah, I leave out the underscore.

I probably will eventually.

I think I'm going to die over my arch sword one more time before I try giving another OS a try. Its either pop or endeaver next if I still have to fight my Nvidia card.
