Hi Friends,

Today I finally I installed my Ubuntu 17.10.
this is the latest version available of Ubuntu.
without any time waste, let's get started on my first post about Linux hot to do's.

First things to do after fresh installation of Ubuntu Linux.



1) Check for Linux updates and upgrade

this is the first and most important step after installation of Ubuntu. we must check if there are any updates available.
to do so here are the steps:
open a terminal by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+T combination.
issue the command
sudo apt update &&  sudo apt upgrade
it will ask for Root password then enter the root password.


2) check for software updates

Click on Show application and in search bar type software updates then chose software updated option, which will update software.


3) Install GNOME Tweak Tool

it is an easy to use tool to make settings of desktops.
open terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T)
and issue the command
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool


4) Install a better GTK Theme

open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
and issue the command
sudo apt install numix-gtk-theme
sudo apt install arc-theme



5)Install Third-party Codecs & Extras

to play certain media format we need the player so,
to install codecs here is the command.
Open Terminal(Ctlr+Alt+T)
issue the command
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras



 6) enable night light

if you work the night shift or spend your most of the night time working on the computer. then you must enable night light mode.  it filters blue light and saves your eyes.
Just head to the Settings > Devices > Displays and toggle the Night Light on, and pick a schedule.
turn it on and keep the setting as sunset to sunrise.



7) install software that you need just

click on shopping bag (Ubuntu Softwares) icon on the dock.
and search and install the software you want. it will just ask you for the root password.

Thanks
