Pop!_OS – COMPLETE Beginner’s Guide (updated for 21.04)

Pop!_OS is an awesome Linux distribution and a favorite of many Linux users. And for good reason: it's easy to use, has great features, it's stable and overall great. In this video I'm going to teach all you beginners how to get started with Pop!_OS so you can start using it. I'll explain how to create the installation media, the complete installation procedure, installing applications, using the desktop, and much more!

Note: I previously uploaded a guide to Pop!_OS on my channel, but this has been updated for version 21.04 and COSMIC desktop.
