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

Replace the Pop! Shop with the COSMIC Store.
sudo apt install cosmic-store cosmic-icons sudo apt remove pop-shopPop 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 tested the new Cosmic Desktop Environment on an experimental laptop, and it performs fairly well. I can't wait to use it on my main machine. I actually already have Cosmic Shop, Pop Shop is far slower than Cosmic Shop, and it wasn't even created by System. I'll definitely uninstall Pop Shop.
Going to try this!! Thanks.
