Summary of 5 Things To Do Right After Installing Linux
Summary
The video titled "5 Things To Do Right After Installing Linux" provides a guide for new Linux users on essential steps to take immediately after installation. The speaker outlines five key actions:
- Update the System: It is crucial to run a system update right after installation to ensure all packages, including important security updates, are current. This can typically be done via a graphical user interface (GUI) or terminal commands.
- Install Proprietary Drivers and Codecs: Users should install necessary proprietary drivers, multimedia codecs, and fonts (like Microsoft fonts) to ensure compatibility with various applications and websites. Many user-friendly distributions come with these pre-installed, but if not, tools like Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers" can help identify and install them.
- Disable Unwanted Startup Applications: After installation, users should manage startup applications to prevent unnecessary programs from launching at boot. This can be done using graphical tools like GNOME Tweaks or by manually editing configuration files.
- Install Additional Package Managers: Since most distributions come with a native package manager, users may want to install additional package managers such as Snap and Flatpak to access a broader range of software, particularly proprietary applications not available in the native repositories.
- Add and Remove Software: Users should customize their software environment by removing unwanted pre-installed applications and installing preferred ones, such as specific web browsers, text editors, or gaming platforms like Steam.
The video emphasizes that these steps may vary based on individual use cases and preferences.
