Alright Jow Forumsentlemen, I just took the orange pill and installed Ubuntu. What are some good tips for a Linux newbie who spent too much time on Windows?

Matthew Jones

Kayden Wilson
and get the cdrtools ppa if you burn cds
Levi Gray
watch tutorials n shit? and anyone who tells you to install Arch or buy a fucking ThinkPad has autism
William Fisher
Rather than asking for le ebin tips for whatever the fuck you wrote...
Start using your fucking computer. Installing crap for the sake of installing won't get you anywhere. Set up your browser, configure torrenting, media player, install your fucking games etc etc.

holy fuck, exactly this unironically

reinstall with kubuntu, which is more similar to the windows layout,
sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop && reboot then run
sudo apt-get remove unity \
unity-asset-pool \
unity-services \
'unity-lens-.*' \
'unity-scope-.*' \
'liboverlay-scrollbar.*' \
appmenu-gtk \
appmenu-gtk3 \
appmenu-qt \
firefox-globalmenu \
thunderbird-globalmenu \
unity-common \
'libunity.*' \
unity-greeter \
'unity-webapps-.*' \
'indicator-.*' \
xul-ext-unity
(to remove the gnome desktop)
then install valve's proton to run exe files, and you're set.

don't install shit manually by downloading .deb files or compiling (sudo makes install), use your software centre as much as possible
search for PPAs here if you can't find your software in the software centre: launchpad.net

this is a bad advice, better install kubuntu from scratch if you want to
don't be afraid to test other flavours of Ubuntu, each has its own quirks, pros and cons
I advise you stay on Ubuntu proper until you feel comfortable and then try Kubuntu

dual boot?

install dash-to-dock extension
or was it dash-to-panel
either way
Cameron Thompson
it's already there, can't you see the panel on the left?
Xavier Flores
uhh.. dash to panel will get rid of that shit on the side (and top, optionally), and make it like windows taskbar, which is far superior, imo
Mason Hughes
I think you can't do that with GNOME anymore, and it's not about that style of GUI
David Wood
I'm literally using it on 18.10, right now.
This thing is godsend
Kayden Perry
oh, interesting
can you link me the thing? I only use dash to dock
Asher Russell
sudo apt-get install gentoo -y
Joseph James
extensions.gnome.org
I'm a nice guy today
Robert Jones
I'd use windows rather than Ubuntu and I use Arch
Caleb James
thanks a bunch, appreciated!
