## What is your favorite Linux distribution(s) and why? 
### Also, are there any that you're interested in and would like to know more about? And also why?
I'm planning to do more videos that explore Linux distributions with something interesting to offer.
Really I try to videos about other operating systems in general as long as there is a way for me to test/run them.

I've recently been working on videos for a couple of distributions. 
I'm currently working on one about Pop!_OS, and the last one I released was about Ubuntu Unity.

### Why Ubuntu Unity?

Up until Ubuntu 17.04, Ubuntu had been using their own desktop environment called Unity, but before the release of the newest version (Unity 8) they abandoned Unity altogether in favor of a semi-custom Gnome Shell(aka Gnome 3).
    
It was Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity-7 that was my first actual Linux install on a computer, and it was partially due to Unity that I was compelled to continue using Linux. Unity also had specific features that were unique, and weren't available in any other desktop environment.
So that, along with the fact that the new Ubuntu Unity project was headed by a 12 yea old boy were among the main reasons for that video.

### Why Pop!_OS?

PopOS is also a Ubuntu-based Linux distro.
Many Linux distributions are based on another distro that is a reliable base because it's managed and funded by a major organization or company.

Pop!_OS is created by System76, A US company based in Colorado that designs, manufactures, and sells computer hardware that runs Linux. 
Because of this System76 has devoted significant effort and resources into making Pop! a better Linux desktop environment.
Pop!_OS uniquely supplies an .ISO image just for computers with Nvidia graphics, and also has the best out-of-the-box support for hybrid-graphics. Hybrid-Graphics refers to computers that have graphics integrated into their CPU, and also include dedicated graphics cards. 
Pop!_OS also adds interesting little features like easier updates, and a refresh/restore option, and most interestingly includes a very unique desktop experience via it's window-management. It also includes a built-in tiling window manager which is a feature usually reserved for the more experienced and daring Linux users at the lack of a full fledged Linux distro.

### Distros/Operating Systems I have on my TO-DO list currently are:
- **Plan 9**: (I have a working Plan 9 VM, but haven't learned enough about it to do a video)
- **Inferno:** (Haven't successfully gotten it running yet, but it's also at the top of my list)
- **Haiku:** (I have a working VM, but haven't figured out a video just yet)
- **ReactOS** 
- **Nitrux**
- 

### Some of the older distro/operating-system videos I've done were:
- Turnkey Linux
- Elementary OS(Juno, Hera, and Odin releases)
- Android 10 & 11(they technically count as Linux distros)
- Linux Mint vs. Ubuntu Gnome
- MX Linux
- Hash Linux
- Mamjaro Linux
- Ubuntu Web Remix
- Windows 11
