a message to give people after you install obonto on their PC :)

ubuntu_welcome.txt

I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 (came out in 2016, so its stable but old). I wouldn't use this distro on my own, but it's great for people who have never used Linux before as it guides you through using it. It's kinda lame (IMO), but it gets the job done and millions of people rely on it so it can't be too bad.

I've installed some commonly used programs:
- chromium - google chrome is just a skin for this project
- firefox - another browser bc why not
- geany - write c/c++ code here (this ide is great for small projects and test programs)
- libreoffice - a really low quality office suite (look into WPS office)
- gimp - edit photos
- wine - run windows programs (not perfect)
- gedit - simple text editor (like notepad.exe)
- terminal - most powerful tool
- telegram - same app as mobile


After you've used this distro for a bit I recommend trying antergos, I can help dual-boot if needed.

If you need help feel free to telegram me and/or use google/askubuntu.com.

Desktop environments:
	The desktop environment you currently see is Unity and will be removed in the next stable version of Ubuntu. I installed the other desktop environments on this machine but because Unity likes to cause problems for everyone, only xfce is working correctly.

The terminal:
	getting comfortable with the terminal is great as there are many things which can be done so much more efficiently with it. 
here's a quick intro to some basic commands: https://www.howtogeek.com/140679/beginner-geek-how-to-start-using-the-linux-terminal/

	you can type `history` to see everything I installed.

Software:
	you can get software from the ubuntu software center, `apt search <what you want>`, or you can google "telegram ubuntu"
