I did all the same steps. I downloaded the file. I wrote it to the SD card, but then when I go to start it up, I just get this loading screen that lasted about an hour before I just shut it down.

What am I doing wrong here?

With that being said, Pop OS does have a raspberry pi image. I've never tested it but it should work fine. Alternatively you could get a minimal Debian image and then install Cinnamon
