1. Manjaro Linux: Welcome to the man. Generally, next course, you will learn how to use them on Gero desktop. My general Lennox is a computer system similar to a Mac or a Windows computer. The goal of this course is to explore the limits desktop. So if you want to learn Lennox, the learning curve can be quite steep in this course will teach you how to install Lennox how to use the desktop on how to customize it to your own liking. 2. Demo: Gnome Desktop: When you install Mongella Lennox, you will have an option between graphical environments. So they haven't except C version, genome version and Katie A version assisted genome version. So these versions only differ in the graphical environments. So what you actually see on the desktop this is the genome destiny. So it looks quite different. Maybe from other systems. You have oclock on top here, and was this a menu? I got searched in your menu. You've got a sidebar and you can show application by pressing on the left corner. And you've got another search so you can search for on applications. Let sick room hands when you run it. It starts grown, obviously, so you can search for for applications, right or browse through them. It's a little bit like a smartphone in that sense. So this is looking like that to waste to start. So either you can start from this menu here so you can start applications from the menu. Here, you can type hands, search for an application, and you can also browse, um, by category, right. So based on the category, you can see the applications available, and you can also install new applications of course, Save. Got other options here. Shortcuts to computer videos, pictures. Alan's older kind of things. And you can also find them by going to this file Explorer. Here you see all of these directories like downloads, music, pictures, and it's just a basic file Explorer. You can browse through your file system and on the left, we've got this kind of programs as well. You've got a text editor. You've got terminal as well as you can add and remove software. So if you want to install new software in just type program name, click it and press supply, and it will install this software. Get some other stuff here that you can actually add and remove so you can remove this from favorites. It will disappear, right? So maybe we have maybe your chrome user friends and you want to edit. That's a good start growing, and you can drag. It heats up here. Okay, so now you go back first escape key. You see, the application is added to this menu so you can at your favorite applications to be sidebar. Here. You can also change the look and feel a bit you can change the background, right? Most, but only destined. She changed the picture makes you choose something that you do you like as well as for the lock stream. So whenever you lock your computer, you can changed for the grams. You can pick whichever that screen you want to use. So it's a very basic background can change some system configuration like resolution, printers, sounds, settings and those kind of things. And they've also got a program called Speak to So Three If you start tweak so you can set some additional team configurations. So right now it's quite a dark team, and maybe you want something something different. So I just picked another one, right? So the appearance will change, can change and change the appearance in that sense. So whichever apparent shoes you'd like to use it because quite some choice could change the cursor. But it de general. So you have a global dark team sitting here. If you press, it's would be a different team. Whenever I start a new program, see, everything is dark colors. If you don't like that, just turned it off. So this is what the genome messed up environment looks like, basically, how it works 3.
