I hope this isn't annoying, but I have some quality of life tips that you may do with as you will.

• The Pop! Shop is about to be replaced by the more stable COSMIC Store, which you should definitely install (from the Pop!_Shop) now.

• If you've got an AMD GPU, the Kisak/Valve mesa drivers (https://launchpad.net/~kisak/+archive/ubuntu/kisak-mesa) are worth installing from PPA - but Pop is generally not great for older hardware, in my experience. There's a lot of focus on the new, because they primarily support their own OEM hardware.

• The current churn of flaky Pop!_OS kernels that misbehaved on older hardware drove me nuts, so I switched to the XanMod kernel (https://xanmod.org/) for an instant performance boost.

I do still run it on older hardware, but it's more of a chore than it ought to be compared to some other options.
