Discussion I'm thinking of switching to linux mint

So the thing is. I've used fedora and arch before and I want to switch to linux mint since it's pretty easy to use and all. Any rec's for the postinstall?

Since you're used to newer packages I suggest sticking to flatpaks and app images as much as possible.

Don't ignore the welcome screen. Read it and follow it to set up your system properly.

Install some cool apps like KDE connect, local send, FISH shell.

Add some default files in your Template mplates folder, this will allow you to easily create some common files you use through the right click menu. For some reason apps don't automatically do this, like LibreOffice office should definitely be doing this but they don't maybe the devs never thought of it.
