    After a very long time and up’s and downs I am finally starting to feel a bit better. TMS treatment is starting to work, but I can see I have a long way to go in terms of fixing the bad mental hygiene habits that keep knocking me down. Burnout is terrible. I am thankful for this community.

    I have been using Pop!_OS and have been extremely happy - so much so that I actually invested in several high end System76 workstations for my work. Pop!_OS just works and it works really, really well. Setting up Pop!_OS has been very easy on the 5+ systems I have installed it on. The OS's GNOME setup called COSMIC is simple to use and I personally find it very productive.

    The compatibility with NVIDIA has been a major reason why I have been so happy with Pop!_OS. I do a lot of machine learning/deep learning, and getting the OS set up on systems with NVIDIA cards was almost too easy - everything installed and worked without fudging. I recently set up a new workstation - from the start of install to testing out my machine learning code took about 2.5 hours (and most of that time was spent watching the install).

    The other thing that I should mention is upgrading the OS. I used to run Ubuntu on computers and almost every time I would try to upgrade between releases something would fundamentally break irrecoverably. So far Pop!_OS has upgrade well each time.

    Software wise, I mostly live in Linux running Linux applications, so I am not sure about Proton/Steam/etc. But if your workflow uses mostly FOSS, you'll be fine.
