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

Distrohop for a rolling release distro instead a LTS one
I daily popos for work. It’s a great workhorse distro and I’ve had very little problems with it.
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
In a serious tone:
Attempt to do a minimal yet optimized install instead of a standard one while making it fully functional.
Get a non-creepy wallpaper you wouldn’t be embarrassed to show co-workers when screen sharing.
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
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 think he’s talking about the slightly sexualized cartoon of a child in a school girl outfit. I know lot of ya are in your internet bubbles, but that’s still borderline disgusting to a lot of folks out there.
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 💀
Figure out how to do snapshots before doing updates or upgrades.
Timeshift I think? Maybe more available.
Snapper has a hook in apt so that it fires a snapshot whenever you do package things. It must have the same for other packaging systems.
Does anyone know if Timeshift has any use with fedora atomic distros?
github.com/boredsquirrel/awesome-btrfs
I think there are better tools.
Use is only
- For cloning the entire OS to a different drive that is smaller or bigger
- For snapshotting home
Install gentoo /s
No thanks
I’m not trying to brick my system
enjoy
Start planning what your next OS should be.
Ah, the luxurious distro-hopping wagon 🤤
Probably Arch Linux
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
That’s really cool! I put my wife on Pop_OS recently and it’s been a little bumpy, but she’s also got a bit of a specialty laptop. Glad it’s been smooth for you :).
I really like your aesthetic, btw, how the wallpaper fits with your launch bar. Really pleasant!
Wish I had some advice for you, but heck, thanks for starting the thread because (after sifting highly opinionated goofposts) I’m learning a lot too. :)
Thank you! It’s okay if you don’t have any advice
Why did you switch from mint?
I went from Mint to Pop OS to increase my customizing options. Mint isn’t very customizable, and installing GNOME or KDE with it may work OK but is not supported and I don’t think it will ever be.
I see. I’m just starting my linux journey, and right now, mint is working great for me. At some point I’ll probably start distro hopping.
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.
learn ed, the STANDARD EDITOR
Finest advice possible for any Linux sysadmin.
top 10 best advice of all time
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.
