From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pop OS looks cool at first, but it is one of the worst distro I've ever used in my 7 years of distro hopping. It is not stable and things will break after some updates.
Been running it a year and a half and I don't think it's unstable. Are you comparing it to Debian or what?
Even Fedora or Ubuntu is more stable than PopOS. It is a bloated distro and shouldn't be used by beginners wanting to learn Linux.
I think your opinion is pretty unpopular. Opposite of my experience.
You also didn't say what you would consider stable, you just threw shade at two more popular distros that people love
