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.
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/Wallpa…
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
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.
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 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
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.
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 tossed mint on a PC after about 8 years of not using mint at all and I've been extremely impressed at how stable and friendly it is. It works exactly how you expect it to and Cinnamon has the best default workspace implementation of any DE I've used
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!
Tiling is especially great for working with multiple monitors. It is far easier to move windows between monitors and workspaces, split screens between two windows, and so on with tiling.
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 💀 edit: op edit there comment to gibber jabbish for whatever reason
😁 EndeavourOS was for me the least time consuming distro so far. Installing everything via yay without having to add repos to it paired with it’s rolling behavior is the reason I use it.
Been using EndeavourOS as my main driver for 2 years now, I'm putting in the time to learn NixOS and so far it's been solid, would recommend it for rolling release stability which is issue with Arch if you don't update regularly enough.
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.
Honestly I'm just excited for a non-gnome DE with an actual company backing it. I can't wrap my head around gnome's expectations for how you use it, so the fact that it's the default on every enterprise-backed Linux project is annoying as heck
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.
I don't get any of these comments either, I guess this is how it is posting on Lemmy compared to Hexbear lmao Thank you for the tips though and I'll gladly do so!
Free GNU+Linux base OS. Devuan is a fork of Debian without systemd. Devuan provides a safe upgrade path from Debian, to ensure the right to Init Freedom and avoid entanglement.
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. :)
I’ve installed Pop!_OS on many machines over the years, and my standard process is:
Install PopOS
rare for PopOS, but, depending on specialized hardware (some legacy Nvidia cards), a little driver rejiggering might be called for. Or a weird network printer setup that CUPS doesn’t like.
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 (obviously, this step will no longer exist soon)
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.
Edit: there’s probably a lot that I’ve skipped/missed, and a lot that others will do along their way through these steps. This is just a basic outline of some of my post-install processes (developed over time), and I hope this answers your question.
Also, you can google for post-install guides for Ubuntu and they’ll largely be applicable to PopOS since it’s based on Ubuntu.
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
