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

Why did you switch from mint?

Not OP, but for a while I tried using Ubuntu and Mint but kept on having random issues with my printer/scanner combo (Brother) and a couple of other problems that I don't remember before I just gave up and switched over to pop.

Been using it as my daily driver for a couple of years now and even the one time I did have something go sideways I was helped by people on the Telegram channel.

On a side note there have been a couple of ranking lists released on YouTube and one of them noted that the desktop is a bit outdated but I really like the tiling window manager that pop has. Sure it eats shit sometimes but as of recently I haven't had to think about it at all. I'm excited to see the new desktop that they are currently developing as well.

In a serious tone:

Attempt to do a minimal yet optimized install instead of a standard one while making it fully functional.

I'd suggest to remove it and install Debian Stable as a tactical next move.

I use Debian as a secondary distro, I am definitely not making it my main

That top right X for closing a window, it can be placed top left. Give it a try.

There's a song by Gucci Mane called Pop Music

I would play that really loudly using Pop! OS, like noise violation loud, and then just spin in a chair until dizzy while listening

(also enable TimeShift)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
