As you know I am currently doing a run through of distributions for Linux. The first one is Debian. In my last post I showed you how the install went. In this post I will show you the default set up for the desktop.
This is the default desktop set up.
When you click on activities in the top left corner a transparent pop up spreads across the entire desktop. A bar for your favorites is along the left hand side. The middle will populate with what programs you have open, for easy switch between programs. In the windows view it just shows what work spaces you have open down the right hand side.
Clicking on applications you get an array of applications pre-installed with the distribution.
Down the right hand side you can click on the different categories to narrow it down and find only what you are looking for.
Getting out of the activities area and clicking on the day and time, it opens up a calendar app. See what you have scheduled at a quick glance and set your Date and Time settings.
Over on the right you have more quick settings.
Volume Control
Network settings
Battery, if your running on a laptop. I'm fairly certain this wouldn't be here if this were a desktop.
And then your own personal profile. Change your system settings, log out or power off.
Pulling up the terminal so far it looks the same.
View directories.
Make directories.
Though it is my understanding that not every distribution uses the same commands. I'm going to assume that like me you will not be using the command line until you have picked a distribution.
No worries you can open up and view your files and directories to see everything there as well.
So far Debian seems pretty cut and dry. You have access to what you need access to. On the next post I'll focus on personalization capabilities in Debian.
