# Pop!\_OS
My personal favorite in the Debian family, this one is developed by
System76 and is based on Ubuntu. However, they did not follow in
Ubuntu’s footstep in terms of its snap usage. Instead, most packages
are available through `apt` and some through `flatpak` which is much
nicer on your computer than `snap`. It’s also a great choice for
computers that run on NVIDIA since they have a Pop!\_OS version
specially made for them, saving you the hassle of figuring out how to
make it work (come on NVIDIA, AMD is already playing nice with Linux,
why not you too?). You shouldn’t have any issue playing games with
this distro.

I think this is the distro I recommend the most to Linux newcomers.

As mentioned, uses `apt` and `flatpak`.
