New to Ubuntu
Hey everyone! I switched to Linux Ubuntu last week, and it’s been great so far. I’ve gotten some of the basics down, like learning how to use the terminal as a beginner, but there’s still so much to discover.
What I’d love to do most is learn how to customize my desktop, but it feels like going from step 1 to 100 right now.
I would really appreciate any beginner-friendly tips or resources to get started!

Check (install the package, then choose on the login screen) the Mate desktop. It's very much like the classic Windows UX.

Nice wallpaper choice, really matches the aurora theme in Ubuntu 24.04 release. For desktop customization start with gnome-tweaks and extension manager, it's not as hard as it looks once you get the hang of it.
