Every version of Ubuntu brings with some changes. Some changes that you didn't know about but now you like(net-tools's ifconfig replaced by ip), and some changes you absolutely hate. like. FULL CAPS. ANGRY EMOJI. &%$h(j$j(&(mh)j##! . One prime example of this is the actual physical right click button(yes, the right clicky click thing) on the touchpad does not work by default in Ubuntu 18.04. Like wtf??
Here are all the things I solved after I installed Ubuntu 18.04.
- Physical Right Click on touch pad right click button https://itsfoss.com/fix-right-click-touchpad-ubuntu/
- Numpad doesn't work. https://askubuntu.com/a/1071426
- Dropbox installation problem
- Scroll (set natural scrolling to OFF on both touchpad and mouse)
- Netspeed GNOME Shell Extension. This is nice!!
- Mute button LED [TODO] (actually i don't want the LED to work. Capslock LED works so I'm fine.)
- Ctrl+Tab (switched from the new recent tab switching thing in Firefox. There should be a separate shortcut for switch to recent tab)
- ubuntu-restricted-extras (i hadn't installed the 3rd party stuff during Ubuntu install)
- ubuntu 18.04 doesn't have fractional scaling. It's either 100% or 200% scaling. I switched from
1366*768to1920*1080. It will take some time I guess. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029436/enable-fractional-scaling-for-ubuntu-18-04 ..jic - https://itsfoss.com/add-new-document-option/ Wow! No more "create new document" on right click context menu in nautilus. Who doesn't want this?
- If an open application has multiple instances, then the icon of that application on the Dock shows two or more orange dots. If you click on the icon, it shows you the tiny-thumbnail previews. If you mouse-hover on those previews nothing happens. It's usually hard to know which say, terminal is doing what from those previews. It harms productivity. So, http://tipsonubuntu.com/2018/04/15/click-icon-minimize-application-window-ubuntu-18-04/
- Installed dconf editor
- Set the
click-actionoforg>gnome>shell>extensions>dash to dockfrompreviewstominimize - to increase productivity or whatever... I set the
scroll-actionoforg>gnome>shell>extensions>dash to dockfromdo-nothingtocycle-windows.
