CraftedI just switched to Pop OS, any tips on what I should do next?
hauiInstall 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.
macnielWorld 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!
Gladly
SK@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!
youmaynotknowIt already is, but normies are not aware of that yet.
What is this “battery” thing you speak of?
Vitalyenjoy
IheartcheeseSocks.
TwoBeeSanThen estrogen.
Or Testosterone.
Don’t forget the shark.
*sharks.
Post a screenshot on social media
Well you can check
- announce on social media to strangers that your computer uses a different OS.
Off the list.
𝚐𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚒𝚎that wasn’t even the point of this post to begin with?
GustavoMIn a serious tone:
Attempt to do a minimal yet optimized install instead of a standard one while making it fully functional.
So evil.
I daily popos for work. It’s a great workhorse distro and I’ve had very little problems with it.
make a backup
ComradeSharkfuckerYou 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: github.com/Vitalii-code/Wallpaper
try it
Start planning what your next OS should be.
Ah, the luxurious distro-hopping wagon 🤤
Probably Arch Linux
Get a non-creepy wallpaper you wouldn’t be embarrassed to show co-workers.
GolfNovemberUniformAs 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.
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.
TheCheddarCheeseIs blue hair a fetish now?
BizzleAlways has been 🙍♂️🔫🌎
zelifcamI think he’s talking about the slightly sexualized cartoon of a child in a school girl outfit.
NepsI 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 💀
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.
It’s okay to say you don’t like anime
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

I’d say Linux distro migration checklist completed.
Thank you brother
T (they/she)Just curious, why do you have Firefox and Librewolf at the same time? Also which 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!
Yeah, now go crazy trying shot 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
addieGet 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
RetiringAnd 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.
That top right X for closing a window, it can be placed top left. Give it a try.
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.
I’m sure I would notice more issues or hiccups if I daily drove my laptop. It’s just my secondary device right now, but I’m also testing/learning linux for when I switch my main desktop over.
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.
