One thing I started doing recently when I redeploy pop (usually due to distro hopping) is removing LibreOffice and installing the Flatpak version since its more up to date. Actually just ended up creating a bash script to deploy everything for me when I reimage.

It will mostly depend on the things that you want to use your system for. You can find a lot of great applications on Flathub. Pop!_OS includes a Flatpak sideloading application so you can seamlessly install flatpaks from the Flatpak website.

  • Tauon is currently my favorite music player for offline music. Unlike virtually every other music player, it takes directory structure into consideration when it imports music from your local Music directory, so it doesn't require perfectly-tagged music to be usable. It also has great support for Spotify and Chromecast.
  • mpv is the most efficient video player with the widest codec support
  • gThumb is my favorite image viewer with some common but essential editing features.
  • SimpleScan is necessary for interacting with scanners
  • Solaar is useful for managing Logitech receivers and input devices
  • Blueman is useful for managing bluetooth receivers and devices
  • Warp is useful for secure P2P file transfers
  • Blanket to play background noise
  • Monophony is a YouTube music player which separates the audio stream from the video stream
  • Tubefeeder is a YouTube client that you store your subscriptions in to get a feed of videos only from your subscriptions that you can download or play in MPV
  • Scribus is the best desktop publishing application if you're into printing

I haven't heard of most of these. Time to check a bunch of stuff out.

The GNOME Tweaks tool is pretty nice.

Anymore, one of the only 'must-have' apps for me is the Gnome Extensions to switch audio devices in the top bar instead of having to open settings.

Oh, that's cool. Looks useful! One thing that intrigues me most about Unix systems is how configurable they seem to be.

This is so underrated. The only other gnome extensions I use are espresso, blur my shell and openweather.

I could never get my open weather to work. I got my own API key but it never seemed to make the request, 0 uses
