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

Socks.
Then estrogen.
Don’t forget the shark.

Or Testosterone.

Also that is a (mostly) good selection of apps right there.
Thank you brother
Just curious, why do you have Firefox and Librewolf at the same time? Also what is the black icon with the R?
I use Firefox as my main browser and Librewolf as a second browser
The icon with the R is a FOSS chat app called Revolt
I see. Thank you!
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.
Gladly
What is this “battery” thing you speak of?
Replace the Pop! Shop with the COSMIC Store.
sudo apt install cosmic-store cosmic-icons sudo apt remove pop-shopPop Shop is kinda slow. COSMIC Store is part of Pop OS’s new COSMIC Desktop Environment (DE). Everything is just a lot faster. It’s an alpha so there are a couple of rough edges, but it’s great overall.
Speaking of, get hyped for COSMIC. It’s a DE written in Rust. It’s not quite as complete as GNOME, but hopefully it will have better performance than the current GNOME mod that forms Pop’s UI.
get hyped for COSMIC
Honestly I’m just excited for a non-gnome DE with an actual company backing it. I can’t wrap my head around gnome’s expectations for how you use it, so the fact that it’s the default on every enterprise-backed Linux project is annoying as heck
I tested the new Cosmic Desktop Environment on an experimental laptop, and it performs fairly well. I can’t wait to use it on my main machine. I actually already have Cosmic Shop, Pop Shop is far slower than Cosmic Shop, and it wasn’t even created by System. I’ll definitely uninstall Pop Shop.
Going to try this!! Thanks.
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.
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.
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
Endeavour sway edition was great at this.

Your next step is to Arch
btw
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
Hmmm
try it
enjoy

Install KDE.
Removed by mod
KDE is fine. I’ve been using it for some time now and never really had any significant issues that weren’t caused from my own meddling.
I say that as someone that has been on and off using Linux variants for probably 20 years now.
I run my kids machine on pop os with KDE, auto login that opens steam in big picture mode. Haven’t had any issues at all.
