I just recently migrated from Linux Mint to Pop OS, do you have any tips/extensions on what I should do with my desktop?

cool
that wasn’t even the point of this post to begin with?
Socks.
Then estrogen.
Don’t forget the shark.
*sharks.
Or Testosterone.
World domination, and if you can’t achieve that… Well don’t come back:)
Whatever the feck you want to do with your computer. Make it your own, do your stuff you regularly do.
And charge your battery!
@macniel I think i missed that step while switching to linux.
Yeah I only became aware of it when I was attending the last secret penguin meeting. The world shall be at our fingertips!
It already is, but normies are not aware of that yet.

What is this “battery” thing you speak of?
Setup - checked
Troubleshoot - checked
Install apps - checked
Import data - checked
Customize - checked
BoastTell people on social media - checkedI’d say Linux distro migration checklist completed.
Also that is a (mostly) good selection of apps right there.
Thank you brother

Install steam and whatever gaming things you have and give it a proper spin. I also added some gnome extensions for system usage. Besides that, pop is very simple.
enjoy
Get your keybinds the way you want and learn how to use the tiling extension that comes with pop. I found it super useful when I used to use pop
And then realize that tiling in popos is inferior and start using i3 or sway
I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually
You should send me that sick ass wallpaper
Try my open source app called Wallpaper, it uses wallhaven images and automatically sets them for you depending on your resolution here is the link: https://github.com/Vitalii-code/Wallpaper
Yeah, now go crazy trying shit you probably should not be trying. From my perspective, that’s the best perk of any Linux distro. Evidently, backup first.
Your next step is to Arch
btw
make a backup
Start planning what your next OS should be.
Ah, the luxurious distro-hopping wagon 🤤
Probably Arch Linux
Click the windowing mode icon (far left of the icons in the top right) and switch that bad boy to tiled windowing mode. Tiled windows will feel odd for a couple of days, but once you switch back to free-floating windows you’ll realize why I’m recommending tiled.
Look up the PopOS keyboard shortcuts for moving tiled windows around the desktop and workspaces. It’s a game-changing way to use your computer.
PopOS has been my daily driver for a year. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I’ll keep this in mind, thank you!
Tiling is especially great for working with multiple monitors. It is far easier to move windows between monitors and workspaces, split screens between two windows, and so on with tiling.
I daily popos for work. It’s a great workhorse distro and I’ve had very little problems with it.
