I’ve never really had issues with either but only really checked out Pop for a few weeks. I’m typing this from my EOS rig I play all my games on that’s been stable and happy for maybe a year now.
One distro is fairly similar (or can be made similar) to another more or less if you get into it. I’ve found EndeavourOS pretty damn easy to set up and run for what that’s worth and run it on three different machines right now.
There was a few big dumb moves they recently made involving the next fw update, a new piece of “security” software that was supposed to sign all connections to the printer and would prevent 3rd party slicers etc from connecting, and then gaslighting everyone by redacting statements previously made on their website about it. It’s dumb, anti-consumer, and pissed off a community that’s pretty much made up of giant nerds with the smarts to call them out on the bullshit.
There’s about a billion videos about it, but the one from Zach Freedman sums it up best without blowing it out of proportion IMO.
But yeah, it was reason #187 I ordered a CORE One from Prusa at a much higher price vs BL models for my next printer.
