There you have it: my list of 10 things to do after you install Ubuntu 23.04. You can install GNOME Tweaks on Ubuntu through the Ubuntu Software app, then launch it from the apps grid by searching for “tweaks”. Show the current weekday in the top bar clock.Change fonts used by desktop/apps/terminal.The GNOME Tweaks utility is indispensable as range of customisation options is unlocks is exhaustive and, in some cases, pretty essential too. Settings galore in this Swiss-army knife utility Plus, if you go the Settings > Ubuntu Desktop panel and scroll to the bottom you’ll find a new section with some additional ‘Advanced Tiling’ options. Snap more windows to create a tiling group and you’ll find can resize all windows at the same time by dragging the edge of windows. Once you’ve done that, can drag any resizable windows to a corner of your display to ‘snap’ it to 25% of the available space. You’ll need to log out and back in again for the extension to begin working after install. To install the Ubuntu Tiling Assistant extension run: sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-tiling-assistant Ubuntu plans to add support for quarter tiling in Ubuntu 23.10 but until then you can install the ‘Ubuntu Tiling Assistant’ extension from the Ubuntu repo. If you’re on a large display you may want more options, such as being able to tile windows to each corner. You can also drag windows to the top to maximise them fully. In Ubuntu 23.04 you can drag windows to the left and right of your display to ‘snap’ them at 50% of available screen space. Ubuntu Tiling Assistant gives you more tiling options If you have a lot of media you may prefer to install VLC instead, This open-source video player that can handle just about any media format you throw at it. M4A, and other media files now “just work” in Ubuntu’s default apps. You can install Ubuntu Restricted Extras from the command line: sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras This is meta-package that installs a bunch of video, audio, and other media codecs required to playback content. To fix this, you need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras. Totem is Ubuntu’s default video player but out-of-the-box it can’t play most common formats. Hit enter and, et voila: change takes effect immediately - happy minimising! 3. Just copy and paste this: gsettings set .dash-to-dock click-action 'minimize' You won’t find an option to enable minimise on click in the Ubuntu Desktop settings panel (why? not sure) but it’s quick and easy to turn it on using the command line. I think it feels more intuitive to click an app icon to restore the window, and click on it again to minimize it. If you come from Windows, Chrome OS, or a Linux desktop environment where clicking on an app icon focuses or minimises it, you’ll want to do this.
