# Keep in mind this will delete the existing POP de and replace it with gnome 40. | |
# You should still be able to enable the POP theme and extentions. | |
# If you aren't sure of the implications you can always try it in a vm first. | |

# Please, create recovery usb before installing it. | |
# You're using it on your own risk. | |
# BTW. it works on my computer. | |
