So this is my third day of using linux ubuntu and im going to do the year challenge with linux and ive made this my daily OS which I will be doing everything on. ive started learning simple commands which make me smile with joy when I execute them because i feel all techy LOL. Now the real question is. what else could I be doing on linux which would make it better for me. its really a vague question but what fun stuff can I do on linux besides do my college work and play games on another OS? how can I configure my OS to suite me better?
thanks in advance to the people that reply with answers!
There's all sorts of things you can do with any OS, it's impossible to list them all. That said, here's the absolute top of the list, essential to the linux experience:
Listening to RMS and his following
Shitposting in Windows 10 threads
Googling graphics driver problems
Getting told it works fine in Arch
Emphatically insisting that some part of your distro you never touch is better than an alternative you've never used
Opening Github issues
Dropping Ubuntu forever
Getting tricked into using wine
Complaining that you're having problems dual-booting
Shouting about privacy and security when you have no concept of either in practice
Installing windows in a VM to play games with a noticeable decline in performance
Installing linux on old computers and never using them again
Complaining about Ubuntu's QC standards and Canonical's practices
Buying a raspberry Pi
Soul crushing self loathing
Arguing over which CLI text editor is designed better
Altering your GUI to the point that it becomes unuseable for anyone but yourself
The rush of a failed boot after an upgrade
Being disappointed in your Raspberry Pi
Tricking new users into trying to set up their own passthrough VM
Trying to sell your Raspberry Pi
Arguing with other linux users about which distro is best for [INSERT_USE_CASE]
When it's someone else's software, they're an idiot who clearly didn't do enough testing. When it's your own, you swear the compiler must me bugged before you realize you missed a semicolon at line 309.
I liked Opera for the longest time, but for some reason I really don't trust a completely free VPN service... I used the compression mode in old-school opera (and opera mobile) when it was/is absolutely necessary, but beyond that... eh, I'd rather not.
I just can't imagine how they'd make money from a completely free, no-logs-keeping VPN (then again, I'm not sure how they make any money in the first place except with partnerships á la Nintendo). And they're probably not doing it just for the lulz and out of generosity (same with Vivaldi, but they have some Venture cap coming in I think).
