\"Elementary<\/p>\n

Here comes Elementary OS 5 Juno which is built with ultimate care for better user experience. This time it comes with Linux 4.15 (based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) which brings improved hardware support and performance. Read the official release<\/a> announcement and know about the added features in details.<\/p>\n

If you already downloaded<\/a> & installed elementary Juno then I will show things to do after installing elementary OS Juno for better user experience.<\/p>\n

Things to do after installing elementary OS Juno<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1) System Update<\/h2>\n

Open the command line by clicking Applications in upper left portion of the screen, and click Terminal.
\nTo permanently become root user, type sudo su – and enter user password you specified during installation.<\/p>\n

$ sudo su –
\n[sudo] password for linoxide:
\n[email protected]<\/a>:~#<\/p>\n

To get a list of all packages that should be updated, enter the following command<\/p>\n

# apt-get update
\nNow to do the actual update, enter
\n# apt-get upgrade<\/p>\n

After you accept (\u2018y\u2019) the installation, it will take a while, depending on how many packages are there to be updated.<\/p>\n

2) Gnome Tweak<\/h2>\n

Gnome tweak is a software that you can use to customize your Gnome Desktop environment such as the icons, theme, cursor theme and many other things.<\/p>\n

# apt-get install gnome-tweaks<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3) Enable tap to click for laptop users<\/h2>\n

Some Linux systems disable the tap to click so you will need to enable it in order to use it. You can enable it by going to Applications -> system settings -> Mouse & Touchpad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4) Enable Night light<\/h2>\n

The night light feature adapts the display settings based on your location and the time of the day which reduces the amount of blue light emitted in the evenings. You can enable it by going to Applications -> system settings -> Displays. The schedule is automatic but you can set it manually<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5) Configure Networking<\/h2>\n

The easiest way is through GUI-click the icon of the network in top right portion of the screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"Click Network Settings, choose Ethernet and Edit Connections. Select Wired Connection 1 and click the tool icon<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now in IPv4 tab, enter “Manual” instead of “DHCP”, and fill in the fields for address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server accordingly.<\/p>\n

6) Remote Access via SSH<\/h2>\n

To remotely connect to your server via SSH, you need to install an SSH server on your Elementary OS virtual machine.<\/p>\n

# apt-get install openssh-server<\/p>\n

7) LibreOffice<\/h2>\n

For a free Office alternative, install libreOffice.<\/p>\n

\n# add-apt-repository “deb http:\/\/repository.spotify.com stable non-free”
\n# apt-get install spotify-client<\/p>\n

29) Wine<\/h2>\n

If all these programs do not satisfy your needs, and you still need a Windows version of some program, you can install Wine, which lets you run native Windows programs under Elementary OS.<\/p>\n
