The pop_os subreddit has many Pop!_OS-specific help requests per day. I’m kind of surprised there aren’t more here on the Fediverse/lemmy side of the community.
I browse looking for ways to help, and after having shifted my attention from Reddit to the Fediverse I feel like I could be helping out more. Why aren’t there more requests here?

It’s probably that lemmy is a much smaller community coupled with lemmy users likely being more tech literate, in general, than redditors. Not that people on lemmy don’t have questions but that they’re more self reliant. At least in my own case I often will spend hours digging for answers before I’d post asking.
Smaller user base, and pop is pretty much dummy resistant from the get-go. It isn’t my primary choice, but I’ve installed it for other people and it’s very easy to work with.
Plus, there’s already plenty of info out there for a quick search
Not only is it extremely easy to install and use, but it handles one of the more difficult aspects of Linux for new people extremely well (gaming and proprietary graphics drivers). And it doesn’t do anything too exotic or unusual compared to Os’s people might be familiar with.
