I'd say Linux distro migration checklist completed.

Also that is a (mostly) good selection of apps right there.

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!

Replace the Pop! Shop with the COSMIC Store.

sudo apt install cosmic-store cosmic-icons
sudo apt remove pop-shop

Pop 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.

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!

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

Start planning what your next OS should be.

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.

make a backup

Based on my experience migrating from Mint to Pop!_OS, the next step is migrate back to Mint.

I daily popos for work. It's a great workhorse distro and I've had very little problems with it.

I really don't get some of these comments. I've been using popos on and off since it came out. I would check out gnome extensions to see if anything sticks out to you as being useful for your use case. I would also go into your settings and update your recovery partition. This is also the place to refresh your PC if you need in the future which has been a must-have for me.

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. :)

Just enjoy buddy.

Figure out how to do snapshots before doing updates or upgrades.

Timeshift I think? Maybe more available.
