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.
Gladly
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
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!
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.
Your next step is to Arch
btw
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.
Post a screenshot on social media
Get a non-creepy wallpaper you wouldn’t be embarrassed to show co-workers when screen sharing.
As I always say, as long as the wallpaper is family-friendly and not promoting anything bad like terrorism or racism, someone being not ok with it is solely their problem. People should pay attention on more important things instead of microbullying and judging meaningless stuff. You may want to temporarily adapt to a person that’s important to you in case you’re afraid of them being not ok with it or something like that but there’s no point in doing this with coworkers. It’s just ridiculous.
Hard disagree. I wouldn’t consider an image depicting a fetish of some sort “family friendly”.
Same rules for being in public: you shouldn’t think it’s okay to subject non-willing participants into your sexual proclivities. A jizzed up sexualization, anime or not, is not cool to subject others to without their permission.
I don’t consider the image sexual. Maybe I don’t understand something idk. And anything sexual is not family friendly obviously
What do you imagine all those thick globs of white represent?
She looks like she’s under water (what with the fish and octopus) and they are on the same plane as the white outlines and other things in the image, like they’re reflections or clouds.
Kinda looks like it should be turned clockwise 90 degrees as she’s falling into the water. (You can tell because the way the tips of her hair are further towards the left like she’s sinking)
I mean, it’s a bit abstract, but there’s no evidence I see for them to be what you seem to be thinking they are.
Edit: actually it might be that there’s glass on the left like she’s in an aquarium with the fish and such. Again, “white blobs” are reflections.
Is blue hair a fetish now?
Always has been 🙍♂️🔫🌎

I guess a girl wearing a skirt is sexual now, you sound like the mfs that say girls get r*ped cause of what they wear 💀 edit: op edit there comment to gibber jabbish for whatever reason
The wallpaper isn’t “Fetish-like” or suggestive at all; it’s simply an anime girl with school clothes beneath water with fish circling around her. How dirty is your mind that everything you see is thought to be suggestive?
This isn’t even useful advice; it’s just you being dirty-minded, and if you believe everything is suggestive, seek mental help

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

Based on my experience migrating from Mint to Pop!_OS, the next step is migrate back to Mint.
No thanks
😱
I also did the same thing. I’m back to Mint OS but at the end I’m not much happier.
Guess it is time for arch, btw
I actually value my life.
😁 EndeavourOS was for me the least time consuming distro so far. Installing everything via yay without having to add repos to it paired with it’s rolling behavior is the reason I use it.
I’ll give it a try! Thanks!
Been using EndeavourOS as my main driver for 2 years now, I’m putting in the time to learn NixOS and so far it’s been solid, would recommend it for rolling release stability which is issue with Arch if you don’t update regularly enough.
