CraftedI just switched to Pop OS, any tips on what I should do next?
EleventhHourI’ve installed Pop!_OS on several machines, and my standard process is:
- Install PopOS
- set up my custom zsh/bash profile for the terminal
- enable firewall
- configure SSH and whichever remote management tools I need (I happen to deploy remote machines frequently)
- ‘sudo apt install gnome-tweaks’ & a few other UI tweaking tools
- tweak UI/UX
- search through gnome extensions website for extension I want to install. There’s usually a Top 10 or Top 20 gnome extensions list you can google (eg: “best gnome extensions 2024”)
- make sure I have all appropriate media codecs installed and updated.
- set up pip-/pip3-installer.
After that, it’s setting up/configuring whatever software that particular machine needs.
So I’ve been planning to install pop on my home computer for my parents to use. They don’t know their way around a terminal, so will updating on the GUI store be enough. Or do they occasionally need to run
apt update as well
There are GUI update facilities. They won’t need to use apt
