Pop!_OS - Cheat Sheet

These are the steps I take to setup Pop!_OS on a new machine. Please research each command if you don't understand what it's doing.

Install Codecs

sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras ffmpeg

Install Flatpaks

sudo apt install flatpak

sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

RESTART your machine!

Install H.264 Support

sudo apt install libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libdvd-pkg

Tips & Tricks

Add pause during boot for dual booting:

sudo nano /boot/efi/loader/loader.conf

Type "timeout 5" it should looks like the below:

timeout 5

default Pop_OS-current

This will create a 5 second timeout during boot to select another OS if one is installed.
