It would appear that System76 devs noticed the Ubuntu Desktop team working on porting the volume setting that lets laptop users raise the volume over the 100% limit using the keyboard volume buttons to the upcoming Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) operating system, so they’ll add that to Pop!_OS, too. In the meantime, work continues on the new installer for Pop!_OS, which System76 engineer Jeremy Soller recently simplified by removing the timezone slide and changing the order of prompts, so that it takes less time for newcomers to install the Pop!_OS distro on their personal computers.
