Ops 102: Class 04

This topic matters as it relates to what I am studying in this module, because I believe we will be installing it onto our lab computers. If not, this is still a great way to learn how to install large applications, manage them, and make your workspace much more user friendly.

Things I want to know more about:

• I would like to know more about how to install applications properly (without any extra or excess software/information coming with it), where best to put downloadable applications for ease of use and based on size (if necessary), and how to remove the application COMPLETELY from the computer when it is no longer needed or wanted.

What is Ubuntu?

• Ubuntu is a desktop Linux operating system.

Why would you choose to install the LTS version over regular Ubuntu releases?

• The LTS version is supported for five years, while the regular version is only supported for nine months. The regular version also has a release every six months. Some people may want to wait five years before upgrading, while some enjoy the most up-to-date versions so they can stay relevant and run the latest apps.

What is the Ubuntu GNOME Shell?

• The GNOME Shell is the graphical display of the GNOME desktop environment. To me it makes the desktop seem more user friendly.

How do I install software from the command line?

• You have to open up your computer's terminal and enter the following text, "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y" and this will update the system from the command line.
