@26:07 he says as a business he's considering Linux on his computers because of Windows privacy violations. It's great to hear someone with such a wide audience talking about using Linux.

Should have updated the install materials or just automatically force an update upon install. Competency should never be expected from the end user.

I would agree. If you watch the video, you'll see that Linux Mint's onboarding process walked Luke through using the Update Manager. Pop!_OS didn't. Also apparently Pop!_Shop doesn't or didn't perform an apt update upon launch for reasons beyond my understanding. Anyone familiar enough with Pop!_OS to know if that was or still is the case?
