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

• Zen is my browser.
• obsidian is the note taking app on which I create these articles :3
• stremio for movies etc.
• Discord does have some extra steps that I have described in this article
  • vesktop is the vencord version of discord
• libreOffice is word excel etc
• OBS studio
• outer wilds mod manager
• DBeaver for connecting to my DB

.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
  • mongodb compass for the db gui
