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

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.

Why did you switch from mint?
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 see. I'm just starting my linux journey, and right now, mint is working great for me. At some point I'll probably start distro hopping.
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
