It is that time of the year where we are earnestly anticipating the release of the next\u00a0LTS<\/strong>\u00a0version of what is undoubtedly one of the world\u2019s most popular free operating system and if you\u2019re a keen reader of\u00a0Tecmint<\/strong>, you\u2019ll know by now that we already covered the installation of the next iteration of Ubuntu\u2019s desktop operating system in great detail \u2013 if you missed it, we have the link right down below.<\/p>\n

Here, I have compiled the things that you will most likely need to do after you might have completed the\u00a0installation of Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0installation of Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus<\/a>\u00a0so you might have a stable and safe system to play with.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try to keep this as concise as possible and not bore you with a terribly long list and you can be sure that this article comprises just about everything you\u2019ll need to have to system humming as you\u2019d like it.<\/p>\n

Like I mentioned in the previous install article, the best practice for any Linux user or any PC user for that matter, is to have their PC updated once it\u2019s installed so it may have all the latest security updates, patches and features.<\/p>\n

You can either choose to update your system via the GUI-enabled inbuilt system update tool (image below) or if you\u2019d rather do it the terminal way of things, below are self-descriptive images on how to but for the sake of newbies reading through with this, we\u2019ll add a few notes with the images just to makes things a little.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s get on with this already.<\/p>\n

1. Update Ubuntu 16.10\/16.04 Xenial Xerus<\/h4>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0First and foremost, we must update our sources; head on to the\u00a0Unity<\/strong>\u00a0dash on the top left corner and type in\u00a0\u201csoftware and updates\u201d<\/strong>; open the app, and select the\u00a0\u201cother software\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0tab, tick both options, close the app (you\u2019ll be prompted to enter you root PW) and go back to the same dash; this time around, type in\u00a0\u201csoftware updater\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0open the app and it should auto-update sources and show the available update size.<\/p>\n
