      Is it possible to install Retropie on Pop OS 20.04? Being based on Ubuntu, I was expecting the Ubuntu instructions to work. But got this error.

      Unsupported OS

      Distributor ID: Pop
      Description: Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS
      Release: 20.04
      Codename: focal

        I decided to reinstall Pop OS 19.10 and was able to install Retropie. Then upgraded to 20.04. It starts up and works. However I can't run Retropie Setup to install any more cores. Decided to just give up with this on Pop OS and run it from Ubuntu 20.04 instead. Hopefully Pop OS 20.04 support is fixed soon.

          @Ravynmagi it should only require a small change to the script. I'll sort it.

                @Ravynmagi welcome. It was a 4 character change although I did check in a VM with Pop! OS also.
