Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS is here to impress!

hello everybody this is tech cut in this hello everybody this is tech cut in this video what we're going to be doing is video what we're going to be doing is video what we're going to be doing is taking a look at the new release of pop taking a look at the new release of pop taking a look at the new release of pop os os os 22.04 lts or as i like to call it better 22.04 lts or as i like to call it better 22.04 lts or as i like to call it better ubuntu or maybe a baby blue ubuntu so ubuntu or maybe a baby blue ubuntu so ubuntu or maybe a baby blue ubuntu so this right here is the official system this right here is the official system this right here is the official system 76 blog we see popos has landed and this 76 blog we see popos has landed and this 76 blog we see popos has landed and this is going to cover a lot of the features is going to cover a lot of the features is going to cover a lot of the features which we are going to be diving into which we are going to be diving into which we are going to be diving into real quick some of the uh feature real quick some of the uh feature real quick some of the uh feature changes here and a lot of the cool stuff changes here and a lot of the cool stuff changes here and a lot of the cool stuff is in these settings now with this is in these settings now with this is in these settings now with this release this is based on ubuntu and release this is based on ubuntu and release this is based on ubuntu and we're going to get a lot of we're going to get a lot of we're going to get a lot of distributions getting updated and coming distributions getting updated and coming distributions getting updated and coming out in the next couple of weeks because out in the next couple of weeks because out in the next couple of weeks because of that lts ubuntu release so we're of that lts ubuntu release so we're of that lts ubuntu release so we're going to get a lot of the base going to get a lot of the base going to get a lot of the base applications updated a lot of this is applications updated a lot of this is applications updated a lot of this is going to be gnome 42. for example if i going to be gnome 42. for example if i going to be gnome 42. for example if i open up files here real quick and let's open up files here real quick and let's open up files here real quick and let's go ahead and go to about files you can go ahead and go to about files you can go ahead and go to about files you can see this is version 42. same thing with see this is version 42. same thing with see this is version 42. same thing with terminal if we go over here go down to terminal if we go over here go down to terminal if we go over here go down to about we can see that this is also gnome about we can see that this is also gnome about we can see that this is also gnome 42. if we pop over here in settings 42. if we pop over here in settings 42. if we pop over here in settings let's play around with the desktop let's play around with the desktop let's play around with the desktop wallpapers that's kind of a new thing we wallpapers that's kind of a new thing we wallpapers that's kind of a new thing we got going on got going on got going on first things first let's go down here to first things first let's go down here to first things first let's go down here to about just so you can see this change we about just so you can see this change we about just so you can see this change we have the version number right here is have the version number right here is have the version number right here is running x11 by default this is in vmware running x11 by default this is in vmware running x11 by default this is in vmware so if it's a little choppy i'm sorry so if it's a little choppy i'm sorry so if it's a little choppy i'm sorry gnome version 42 but go ahead and scroll gnome version 42 but go ahead and scroll gnome version 42 but go ahead and scroll up here we're going to go over some of up here we're going to go over some of up here we're going to go over some of the new feature or the new settings the new feature or the new settings the new feature or the new settings options so one of the big ones is if we options so one of the big ones is if we options so one of the big ones is if we go down to os upgrade and recovery we go down to os upgrade and recovery we go down to os upgrade and recovery we will have the option to enable automatic

will have the option to enable automatic will have the option to enable automatic updates so if i were to check that for updates so if i were to check that for updates so if i were to check that for example we have the time in which we'd example we have the time in which we'd example we have the time in which we'd like to install these automatic updates like to install these automatic updates like to install these automatic updates or just update when available if we or just update when available if we or just update when available if we would like to would like to would like to and we have the options show and we have the options show and we have the options show notification so then you won't get a notification so then you won't get a notification so then you won't get a notification up here popping up every notification up here popping up every notification up here popping up every single time there's a new package single time there's a new package single time there's a new package available you'll just get them all at available you'll just get them all at available you'll just get them all at once or you'll just have it update once or you'll just have it update once or you'll just have it update automatically so you won't even really automatically so you won't even really automatically so you won't even really need to see them another thing right need to see them another thing right need to see them another thing right under os update and recovery if we go under os update and recovery if we go under os update and recovery if we go over to support here there are some over to support here there are some over to support here there are some troubleshooting options so we have our troubleshooting options so we have our troubleshooting options so we have our model inversion this is our actual model inversion this is our actual model inversion this is our actual computer operating system version and computer operating system version and computer operating system version and easy link to the documentation which easy link to the documentation which easy link to the documentation which will open up the system 76 documentation will open up the system 76 documentation will open up the system 76 documentation and then we have the option for and then we have the option for and then we have the option for community support for the uh or in the community support for the uh or in the community support for the uh or in the pop os chat as well as the ability to pop os chat as well as the ability to pop os chat as well as the ability to create log archives for support now one create log archives for support now one create log archives for support now one thing we're not seeing here and probably thing we're not seeing here and probably thing we're not seeing here and probably the coolest thing is if you actually the coolest thing is if you actually the coolest thing is if you actually have a system 76 laptop you'll have have a system 76 laptop you'll have have a system 76 laptop you'll have another option here to go ahead and another option here to go ahead and another option here to go ahead and create an actual support ticket to get create an actual support ticket to get create an actual support ticket to get help directly from system 76 themselves help directly from system 76 themselves help directly from system 76 themselves so if you do have one of those so if you do have one of those so if you do have one of those cool there's not much manufacturers that cool there's not much manufacturers that cool there's not much manufacturers that build and support right into the ui of build and support right into the ui of build and support right into the ui of the operating systems now another thing the operating systems now another thing the operating systems now another thing let's go ahead and go back up to the let's go ahead and go back up to the let's go ahead and go back up to the desktop under backgrounds here you see desktop under backgrounds here you see desktop under backgrounds here you see your normal backgrounds you don't have your normal backgrounds you don't have your normal backgrounds you don't have the kind of light and dark mix but that the kind of light and dark mix but that the kind of light and dark mix but that feature is actually there if we go to feature is actually there if we go to feature is actually there if we go to appearance you can see if i switch over appearance you can see if i switch over appearance you can see if i switch over to the light theme it's going to change to the light theme it's going to change to the light theme it's going to change the wallpaper now what i can do from the wallpaper now what i can do from the wallpaper now what i can do from there is while i have this light theme there is while i have this light theme there is while i have this light theme selected i could go and change my

selected i could go and change my selected i could go and change my background to something else and then background to something else and then background to something else and then from there i could go over to appearance from there i could go over to appearance from there i could go over to appearance go to the dark theme it's going to go to the dark theme it's going to go to the dark theme it's going to switch to that wallpaper or switch the switch to that wallpaper or switch the switch to that wallpaper or switch the dark wallpaper and i could go and select dark wallpaper and i could go and select dark wallpaper and i could go and select a different wallpaper for dark so now a different wallpaper for dark so now a different wallpaper for dark so now when i go back and forth in between when i go back and forth in between when i go back and forth in between light and dark it's going to save those light and dark it's going to save those light and dark it's going to save those two uh wallpaper preferences depending two uh wallpaper preferences depending two uh wallpaper preferences depending on the color scheme i'm wanting to go on the color scheme i'm wanting to go on the color scheme i'm wanting to go with some super cool functionality i'm with some super cool functionality i'm with some super cool functionality i'm hoping in the future they have the hoping in the future they have the hoping in the future they have the availability to availability to availability to set up a timer or go based off of your set up a timer or go based off of your set up a timer or go based off of your geo location sunset or whatever that geo location sunset or whatever that geo location sunset or whatever that would be cool but maybe in the future would be cool but maybe in the future would be cool but maybe in the future now another thing that's got on quite a now another thing that's got on quite a now another thing that's got on quite a bit of updates is the pop shop a lot of bit of updates is the pop shop a lot of bit of updates is the pop shop a lot of it has been under the hood so there have it has been under the hood so there have it has been under the hood so there have been code improvements just to increase been code improvements just to increase been code improvements just to increase general overall responsiveness and general overall responsiveness and general overall responsiveness and package management operation package management operation package management operation functionality such as updating functionality such as updating functionality such as updating installing things just overall the pop installing things just overall the pop installing things just overall the pop shop should run a lot or it ran good shop should run a lot or it ran good shop should run a lot or it ran good before but it should have a some before but it should have a some before but it should have a some noticeable performance improvements and noticeable performance improvements and noticeable performance improvements and then when it comes to things you can then when it comes to things you can then when it comes to things you can actually see it has better support for actually see it has better support for actually see it has better support for smaller sizes which is very helpful if smaller sizes which is very helpful if smaller sizes which is very helpful if you're you're you're trying to use their built-in tiling trying to use their built-in tiling trying to use their built-in tiling functionality on a smaller display so functionality on a smaller display so functionality on a smaller display so you can see this is still very usable you can see this is still very usable you can see this is still very usable even at its smallest size there another even at its smallest size there another even at its smallest size there another thing is these buttons for example these thing is these buttons for example these thing is these buttons for example these install buttons here act as install buttons here act as install buttons here act as progress bars now so if i install progress bars now so if i install progress bars now so if i install something such as tilix which is a nice something such as tilix which is a nice something such as tilix which is a nice little terminal emulator going to input little terminal emulator going to input little terminal emulator going to input our password you can see right there we our password you can see right there we our password you can see right there we have a little progress bar starting up have a little progress bar starting up have a little progress bar starting up so that's just another little cool so that's just another little cool so that's just another little cool addition and if i open up the actual

addition and if i open up the actual addition and if i open up the actual page for tillix here you can see the page for tillix here you can see the page for tillix here you can see the progress bar going across the cancel progress bar going across the cancel progress bar going across the cancel button there and if you don't know you button there and if you don't know you button there and if you don't know you can scroll down and see a lot more can scroll down and see a lot more can scroll down and see a lot more information about these actual information about these actual information about these actual applications and i believe if we go back applications and i believe if we go back applications and i believe if we go back home real quick there is a new recently home real quick there is a new recently home real quick there is a new recently updated section here so these are all updated section here so these are all updated section here so these are all applications that have obviously been applications that have obviously been applications that have obviously been recently updated so you can see all of recently updated so you can see all of recently updated so you can see all of those and install them if you'd like to those and install them if you'd like to those and install them if you'd like to and just a really good way for and just a really good way for and just a really good way for application discovery now for the most application discovery now for the most application discovery now for the most part that was a lot of the visual part that was a lot of the visual part that was a lot of the visual changes and before we get into talking changes and before we get into talking changes and before we get into talking about a lot of the under the hood stuff about a lot of the under the hood stuff about a lot of the under the hood stuff and the potential of a new cosmic and the potential of a new cosmic and the potential of a new cosmic desktop environment we're going to have desktop environment we're going to have desktop environment we're going to have to thank the sponsor of today's video to thank the sponsor of today's video to thank the sponsor of today's video lenode so simply put lenode is awesome lenode so simply put lenode is awesome lenode so simply put lenode is awesome i've been using them to host tech dot tv i've been using them to host tech dot tv i've been using them to host tech dot tv for a long time they host the tech hut for a long time they host the tech hut for a long time they host the tech hut next cloud instance for me and everybody next cloud instance for me and everybody next cloud instance for me and everybody that i work with basically everything that i work with basically everything that i work with basically everything i've set up has been with their i've set up has been with their i've set up has been with their one-click installers and of course you one-click installers and of course you one-click installers and of course you don't have to use their one-click don't have to use their one-click don't have to use their one-click installers you just pick between a wide installers you just pick between a wide installers you just pick between a wide variety of linux distributions and variety of linux distributions and variety of linux distributions and install whatever you want on it use it install whatever you want on it use it install whatever you want on it use it for whatever you would use a linux for whatever you would use a linux for whatever you would use a linux server for with the added availability server for with the added availability server for with the added availability security and support of the node and security and support of the node and security and support of the node and better yet you can get a 100 60 day better yet you can get a 100 60 day better yet you can get a 100 60 day credit if you go ahead and use the link credit if you go ahead and use the link credit if you go ahead and use the link in the description so go check it out in the description so go check it out in the description so go check it out today so with that we are back here on today so with that we are back here on today so with that we are back here on the system 76 blog and the next change the system 76 blog and the next change the system 76 blog and the next change was enhanced performance with the system was enhanced performance with the system was enhanced performance with the system 76 scheduler now what this does is it's 76 scheduler now what this does is it's 76 scheduler now what this does is it's going to redirect most of your system's going to redirect most of your system's going to redirect most of your system's resources onto your active or your in

resources onto your active or your in resources onto your active or your in focus window the example that they use focus window the example that they use focus window the example that they use if you're playing gaming in full screen if you're playing gaming in full screen if you're playing gaming in full screen generally then depending on your generally then depending on your generally then depending on your hardware obviously you're going to see a hardware obviously you're going to see a hardware obviously you're going to see a much smoother performance now i haven't much smoother performance now i haven't much smoother performance now i haven't benchmarked this or anything but it benchmarked this or anything but it benchmarked this or anything but it would be interesting to see if it like would be interesting to see if it like would be interesting to see if it like let's say you're rendering a video on let's say you're rendering a video on let's say you're rendering a video on caden live and you throw that in the caden live and you throw that in the caden live and you throw that in the background and go to do something else background and go to do something else background and go to do something else if that's going to significantly slow if that's going to significantly slow if that's going to significantly slow down that render i'm not 100 sure if you down that render i'm not 100 sure if you down that render i'm not 100 sure if you know and you're actually running this on know and you're actually running this on know and you're actually running this on hardware let me know down below and then hardware let me know down below and then hardware let me know down below and then from there we have the switch to pipe from there we have the switch to pipe from there we have the switch to pipe wire for audio processing i'm no audio wire for audio processing i'm no audio wire for audio processing i'm no audio engineer i'm no audio professional uh engineer i'm no audio professional uh engineer i'm no audio professional uh for the most part no matter what is for the most part no matter what is for the most part no matter what is installed on my system i tend to have a installed on my system i tend to have a installed on my system i tend to have a very good time but at least according to very good time but at least according to very good time but at least according to system 76's to take advantage of the system 76's to take advantage of the system 76's to take advantage of the capabilities of modern sound hardware capabilities of modern sound hardware capabilities of modern sound hardware and if you're using applications that and if you're using applications that and if you're using applications that have been built using a pulse audio have been built using a pulse audio have been built using a pulse audio you should be completely fine and then you should be completely fine and then you should be completely fine and then for nuts and bolts improvements the for nuts and bolts improvements the for nuts and bolts improvements the workspaces view has had a little tune up workspaces view has had a little tune up workspaces view has had a little tune up me out of everything on popos the me out of everything on popos the me out of everything on popos the workspaces is just something i'm not a workspaces is just something i'm not a workspaces is just something i'm not a fan of i know it's a design choice fan of i know it's a design choice fan of i know it's a design choice it's one of the things that makes it it's one of the things that makes it it's one of the things that makes it different it's kind of like the old like different it's kind of like the old like different it's kind of like the old like gnome 3.38 vertical style workspaces gnome 3.38 vertical style workspaces gnome 3.38 vertical style workspaces i really like the horizontal thing with i really like the horizontal thing with i really like the horizontal thing with uh uh uh gnome 40 and up but again that's just gnome 40 and up but again that's just gnome 40 and up but again that's just all personal preference this is a better all personal preference this is a better all personal preference this is a better multi-monitor support fixed layouts on multi-monitor support fixed layouts on multi-monitor support fixed layouts on high resolution displays and just high resolution displays and just high resolution displays and just increased performance overall and if we increased performance overall and if we increased performance overall and if we look down from there there have been a look down from there there have been a look down from there there have been a lot of uh little improvements if you're

lot of uh little improvements if you're lot of uh little improvements if you're using nvidia gpus including the ability using nvidia gpus including the ability using nvidia gpus including the ability to actually see your drivers within the to actually see your drivers within the to actually see your drivers within the pop shop and you can downgrade to older pop shop and you can downgrade to older pop shop and you can downgrade to older drivers if you would prefer there's been drivers if you would prefer there's been drivers if you would prefer there's been better performance improvements to the better performance improvements to the better performance improvements to the cpu signaling governor they've saved on cpu signaling governor they've saved on cpu signaling governor they've saved on some system resources by a disabling the some system resources by a disabling the some system resources by a disabling the pop os upgrade service which will only pop os upgrade service which will only pop os upgrade service which will only uh be active when you're actually uh be active when you're actually uh be active when you're actually checking for those release upgrades if checking for those release upgrades if checking for those release upgrades if an upgrade is interrupted those upgrades an upgrade is interrupted those upgrades an upgrade is interrupted those upgrades will now be resumable and a bunch of will now be resumable and a bunch of will now be resumable and a bunch of other little fixes here which we can see other little fixes here which we can see other little fixes here which we can see the uh the file type icons have been the uh the file type icons have been the uh the file type icons have been changed to svg which is nice because changed to svg which is nice because changed to svg which is nice because nobody likes to see a nobody likes to see a nobody likes to see a blown up row low resolution png some blown up row low resolution png some blown up row low resolution png some other minor fixes i'm going to link to other minor fixes i'm going to link to other minor fixes i'm going to link to this down below so you can read all this this down below so you can read all this this down below so you can read all this in depth if you would like to and then in depth if you would like to and then in depth if you would like to and then of course they added a new user icon of course they added a new user icon of course they added a new user icon which is this little robot right here which is this little robot right here which is this little robot right here general upkeep like i said earlier this general upkeep like i said earlier this general upkeep like i said earlier this is going to be following ubuntu 22.04 is going to be following ubuntu 22.04 is going to be following ubuntu 22.04 updated to the gnome 42 base with an updated to the gnome 42 base with an updated to the gnome 42 base with an updated kernel and mesa 22. and here updated kernel and mesa 22. and here updated kernel and mesa 22. and here last but not least this is a little note last but not least this is a little note last but not least this is a little note on their new cosmic desktop environment on their new cosmic desktop environment on their new cosmic desktop environment clearly it's not here as of yet but clearly it's not here as of yet but clearly it's not here as of yet but their ux team has been testing new their ux team has been testing new their ux team has been testing new designs and the engineering team has designs and the engineering team has designs and the engineering team has begun packaging various elements of the begun packaging various elements of the begun packaging various elements of the new rust code base and according to this new rust code base and according to this new rust code base and according to this there's going to be an alpha release for there's going to be an alpha release for there's going to be an alpha release for the summer which i'm super excited to the summer which i'm super excited to the summer which i'm super excited to check out i would love to run a rust check out i would love to run a rust check out i would love to run a rust based pop os that would just be the

based pop os that would just be the based pop os that would just be the coolest thing and i'm really looking coolest thing and i'm really looking coolest thing and i'm really looking forward to what they come up with from a forward to what they come up with from a forward to what they come up with from a design standpoint if they're going to design standpoint if they're going to design standpoint if they're going to kind of stick with this same style and kind of stick with this same style and kind of stick with this same style and like this right here is the search if like this right here is the search if like this right here is the search if they're going to keep all these same they're going to keep all these same they're going to keep all these same elements and try to just clone what they elements and try to just clone what they elements and try to just clone what they currently have working or what they currently have working or what they currently have working or what they their current design is and then kind of their current design is and then kind of their current design is and then kind of work off of that it's going to be really work off of that it's going to be really work off of that it's going to be really interesting to see what they do come up interesting to see what they do come up interesting to see what they do come up with now here goes into how to upgrade with now here goes into how to upgrade with now here goes into how to upgrade it's really easy to actually upgrade it's really easy to actually upgrade it's really easy to actually upgrade your pop os install if you're currently your pop os install if you're currently your pop os install if you're currently running it all you need to do is go into running it all you need to do is go into running it all you need to do is go into system upgrade or just run one of these system upgrade or just run one of these system upgrade or just run one of these commands and of course like always no commands and of course like always no commands and of course like always no matter who you are or what you're doing matter who you are or what you're doing matter who you are or what you're doing always back up your system and keep a always back up your system and keep a always back up your system and keep a second or even third copy of your files second or even third copy of your files second or even third copy of your files so with that that has been the upgrades so with that that has been the upgrades so with that that has been the upgrades or improvements to pop os i do hope you or improvements to pop os i do hope you or improvements to pop os i do hope you enjoyed this video enjoyed this video enjoyed this video again link to this down below so you go again link to this down below so you go again link to this down below so you go ahead and read all this for yourself ahead and read all this for yourself ahead and read all this for yourself super excited to see how this progresses super excited to see how this progresses super excited to see how this progresses and big thank you to our youtube members and big thank you to our youtube members and big thank you to our youtube members and patreon supporters you guys are and patreon supporters you guys are and patreon supporters you guys are fantastic i just heard word that uh fantastic i just heard word that uh fantastic i just heard word that uh patreon is going to be allowing uh video patreon is going to be allowing uh video patreon is going to be allowing uh video uploads so we don't have to use a venmo uploads so we don't have to use a venmo uploads so we don't have to use a venmo vimeo not venmo whatever it is that vimeo not venmo whatever it is that vimeo not venmo whatever it is that crappy video platform that they crappy video platform that they crappy video platform that they currently have a partnership with so currently have a partnership with so currently have a partnership with so hope that will be gone soon uh with all hope that will be gone soon uh with all hope that will be gone soon uh with all that have a beautiful day and good bye
