It features unique tools and optimisations, including intelligent window tiling and streamlined workflows, making it popular among power users and Linux enthusiasts. Pop!_OS is known for its strong hardware compatibility, especially with System76 machines, but performs exceptionally well on a wide range of Intel hardware.
This dual pack offers the best of both worlds. Use the included USB drives to test each operating system without making any changes to your computer, or perform a full installation quickly and efficiently. Having both on physical media means you’re ready to explore either option whenever you need.
