Hi folks,
I just installed Lubuntu after few years on Windows, but running other Linux distros on VMs. I finally made the jump and I'm quite happy, the interface is extremely fast, I love it!
Installation
I'm using a Dell XPS 9360, running on a SSD.
I did use rufus on Windows to format an USB drive and put the Lubuntu ISO on it. I did reformat my Windows partition (I wasn't able to format it directly from Lubuntu GParted). I also had to go back to the Legacy mode to boot from the USB and install it, if I didn't do that change and used UEFI boot (even without the secure mode on) Lubuntu was just not going to install.
I did installed it with the disk encryption. For some reasons, when I do change the boot option back to UEFI, it's not working. If I leave it into the Legacy mode, it just won't start and I have to manually go into the boot menu options, and select the Ubuntu partition.
Any idea why it's behaving like that? I tried several different things without success :/
Tips for new comers
I never been using Ubuntu fully and completely, and as a result I don't know the shortcuts etc. Is there a good reference of the most useful shortcuts to know (obviously ctrl+c|x|v are well known ones )?
I did had an Apple few years back, and one soft that was killing it was an app launcher called Quicksilver, is there something similar for Ubuntu that allows to quickly lunch an app by pressing a shortcut + typing the app name?
I used extensively SnagIt on Windows for taking screenshots and quickly editing the screenshots. There is no Linux version of SnagIt by the Software editor, but is there a Linux alternative that could do most of what SnagIt can do?
I do have a 4k screen, which makes all fonts etc extremely small, how can I change the size of the windows, fonts, terminal, etc?
I think that's all but I'm sure I will have more questions coming next days
Thanks!
