Today I have switched on my main PC to ubuntu as well. I assume that I will have an easier time with the knowledge that I already have. One of the things that I have learnt for example is that I will need SSH for git.

I have created this note today because I have switched to Linux, kinda. I have a new laptop on which I have installed Linux and Windows. But windows is more of a backup :3

Apps that I use

I have installed several apps, from which a few I got from the app center. So that will be the first tab.

App Center

  • Bitwarden is my password manager.
  • Visual studio code is my default code editor.
  • spotify is for listening to music.
  • Whatsie is an app for connecting to your Whatsapp.
  • gitkraken for advanced git usecases.
  • postman for my webrequests.
  • steam
    • to play any steam game via proton, go to steam > settings > compatibility and set enable steam play for all other titles to true.
    • To switch proton versions change run other titles with: to whichever version you’d like. proton hotfix is the default, and the latest version.

Flathub

.deb packages etc.

  • stayfree for tracking my digital life.
  • chrome because I need to know if things work correctly with web design ._.

Terminal installs

  • Git is installed with sudo apt-get install git. Keep in mind that when you want to clone a Repo on Linux, you’ll apparently not be able to use the HTTPS method, so I personally chose SSH, but github cli is a thing as well.
  • Kleopatra & GPG I did also install via Terminal
  • gnome-shell-extension-manager for installing Extensions like a clipboard.
  • gimp with sudo apt install gimp
  • python with sudo apt-get install python3.6
    • pip is intalled via sudo apt install python3-pip
    • tkinter is installed via sudo apt install python3-tk
  • jetbrains toolbox for all the jetbrains tools.
  • php but I forgot which commands I had used.
  • flameshot is a new screenshot tool, I had to first uninstall the default gnome screenshot tool. and I had an Wayland issue that is addressed on the link that I have provided.
  • .NET for C#
  • Synchthing is the software I use to sync files between my devices.
  • mongodb for my database
