Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS: Personal Setup 🤙

I forget a lot of stuff. Plus I should stop flushing my PC after every minor inconvenience. So I made this list of scripts and configurations. Also applies to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

🚫👿 I hate Snaps. They are slow to install, slow to start, take too much RAM, too much disk space and they auto-update themselves without asking, taking up bandwidth. I would try to avoid snaps as much as possible.

Update System Preferences 💿🔧

• Settings > Accessibility > Seeing > Pointer Control > 2 or 3 Points.
• Settings > Accessibility > Seeing > Large Text > Turn ON.
• Settings > Accessibility > Pointing & Clicking > Locate Pointer.
• Settings > Privacy > Screen Lock > Blank Screen Delay > 15 minutes or Never.
• Settings > Privacy > Screen Lock > Blank Screen Delay > Lock Screen on Suspend.
• Settings > Set your DNS to your Pi-Hole.
• Settings > About > Change Hostname.
• GNOME Tweaks > General > Turn OFF "Suspend When laptop lid is closed".
• GNOME Tweaks > General > Turn ON "Over Amplification".
• GNOME Tweaks > Window Titlebars > Titlebar Buttons > Turn ON Maximize & Minimize.
• Change Root Password sudo passwd root,
• Automatically mount Network Drives and setup NextCloud.
• Install ICC profile GA503QR_1002_AE0D1540_CMDEF.icm for ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 (2021).
