From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

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.
