Hey at least they dropped the bang!

It's not silly.

Branding is important, and "Pop!_OS" is unique but not in a good way.

I've known people who have been running PopOS (my preferred) for years who can't remember if the bang comes after the pop, or after the os. And everyone hates the underscore.

An OS named after U2’s worst album

>They should drop the underscore.

Yeah, but then the resulting word "popos" has a relatively negative, or at least embarrassing, connotation in several languages :)

Don't leave us hanging like that! What does it mean? I searched the web, but found nothing aside from "popos" being the plural of "popo", meaning police.

Plural of popo, which is a French (and Spanish) term for doodoo. By which I mean a childish term for excrement.
