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?

Setup - checked

Troubleshoot - checked

Install apps - checked

Import data - checked

Customize - checked

~~Boast~~ Tell people on social media - checked

I'd say Linux distro migration checklist completed.

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

Just curious, why do you have Firefox and Librewolf at the same time? Also what 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
