#1 Don’t like Unity? Switch to Ubuntu gnome classic desktop
Log out of the unity desktop environment, and then select the login environment as "Classic Desktop" to enter.
If you like Unity, but your graphics card is not powerful and does not support 3D, what should you do? Install Unity-2D:
sudo apt-add-ppa repository: unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qt-unity-default-settings
#2 Install updates
The latest version of Ubuntu doesn't mean your software is the latest version, right? Upgrade your software version:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
#3 Install Ubuntu Tweak
Ubuntu Tweak is one of the most powerful ubuntu configuration tools. Install it, it's easy:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
#4 Add Medibuntu warehouse source and activate Canonical partner software
Medibuntu is some software that is necessary but cannot be packaged in Ubuntu, such as win32codec, google-earth, opera, etc.
sudo apt-get install medibuntu
#5 Install samba
After the samba server is installed, you can share files with other students on your network.
sudo apt-get install samba
#6 Install media tools
First install vlc-powerful stuff
sudo apt-get install vlc
You also need to install some commonly used codes

uudeview flac libmpeg3-1 mpeg3-utils mpegdemux liba52-dev mpeg2dec vorbis-tools id3v2 mpg321 mpg123 libflac++6 ffmpeg libmp4v2-0
totem-mozilla icedax tagtool easytag id3tool lame nautilus-script-audio-convert libmad0 libjpeg-progs
If you need to support DVD, then
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/./install-css.sh
It also needs Flash support. Even though you hate it, it’s really hard to do without it! Just search and install it in the Ubuntu Software Center!
Students with 64-bit systems can use the command to install
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
sudo apt-get update

Then, you can click on the software on playdeb to install it with one click!

#11 Backup Data Deja Dup

#13, install ftp client Filezilla

#14, IM instant messaging
QQ’s current webqq is pretty good. You can install the latest libqq2010 protocol with empathy and pidgin @ googlecode;
There are many clients on Sina Weibo. In addition to the official recommendations, there are also eicodesign and gwibber plug-ins
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gwibber-team/ppa

sudo apt-get install conky
For other configurations, you can find the theme yourself. I will give you the conky theme I originally summarized in the future, so stay tuned!
There are also small plug-ins such as screenlet:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:screenlets/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install screenlet
#20, install the unzipped file
Without further ado, order:
sudo apt-get install unace unrar zip unzip p7zip-full p7zip-rar sharutils rar uudeview mpack lha arj cabextract file-roller
See if those compressed files still can’t be opened? You can't kill the demo!
#21, Others

There are also screenshot tools shutter and sshFQ graphical interface gstm!
To name a few!
