I am a new Ubuntu 6.10 user. I am trying to permanently switch [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows from Windows] after 11 years. I'm switching for the freedom and fun.
Age: 31
Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado
To do
- Change resolution to 1600x1200 somehow.
- Probably install NVIDIA driver. (Installed "NVidia binary X.Org driver", rebooted, no change in options)
- Get media playback working for patent-encumbered formats (MP3, Xvid).
- Install ["NTFS-3G"]
- Lots of exploring...
Ubuntu annoyances
- Window minimization animation. Looking for how to disable.
- Unable to close window by double clicking on top left icon. I'll get over it.
- When previewing a screensaver, Esc should also leave fullscreen. I'd also change "Leave Fullscreen" to "Exit Fullscreen". I was all, "how the hell do I exit the preview?" since moving the mouse and hitting Esc didn't work.
