If you have a problem and ask a Linux specialist, he will usually start by telling you
what to do in the command line.

2. In this guide, I have not referred to the command line, because it is unfamiliar to the beginner.
However, it is good to understand the basics of the mysterious command line.

3.This is where the command is written.

4.In particular, ”sudo" commands are required:


Start by writing the administrator password here
(note: the password cannot be seen here at all).
Press Enter.
After that you can give commands to the computer.

If you are planning to install a new app
Here are some tips when looking for a new application

1. Compare different applications. Which would seem best suited to your needs.

2. Find comments and opinions about the app.

3. If you find the manual for the app, examine it. You can get good tips and ideas.

INSTALL ONLY RELIABLE SOFTWARE!

After installing the app.

1. Now you can properly explore the features and functions of the app

- if you collect a lot of data with the app, do you think the app will slow down?
- can you divide the data into sections if needed so that the app works smoothly and
the files are not too large.
- can you transfer older data to another storage medium.

2.Can you easily backup your data to another storage medium?

3. If you are replacing a computer, whether the app and data are successfully
implemented on a new machine.

4. If the app fails, for example, it will no longer work after the update, can you access
your own data files with another app.

5. Practice using the app first with training material, allowing you to figure out the features
of the app and learn about its details.

6. Plan the use of the application (nomenclature, folder structures, backup, etc.).

7. When the job seems to work, start the actual use of the app.

Good luck!

8. If you are unsatisfied with the app, you can easily delete it and look for a better app.
In Ubuntu and Linux, this is easy. The apps are packages.
