I’m still on Pop!_OS 22.04, the last release version. My applications are getting very out of date from being tied to the jammy package repo.

It looks like Pop.next is still in alpha, which suggests it could be 2026 before it’s RC. I don’t actually like any other distro — I built a new laptop on Mint, which I only tolerate. But I’m getting nervous, and the UIs for enough apps have evolved sufficiently that it’s creating some cognitive load to remember how to use both versions (LibreOffice and Evolution stand out).

What have people chosen to do?
