Configure Ubuntu without the command line - Introducing Ubuntu Tweak
It is a well known fact that a majority of Ubuntu users come from the Microsoft Windows environment. These users are accustomed to the ease of click and get things done. There are many utilities available for Windows user to tweaks the system settings, of course you can't touch the base system and tweak it to improve performance. Most Windows users are aware of these utilities. What about Ubuntu?
Yes, we know since we have access to the source code we can improve it as much as we want, something you can't do on Windows machines. But how user friendly are these utilities? Is there anything that offers not only use of ease but also much more control than Windows machine? Yes, there is something called Ubuntu Tweaks which is an excellent and indispensable tool.
Ubuntu Tweak allows the new user to tweak system without worrying about the command line. It is very easy to install Ubuntu Tweaks, just download the latest version from here, double click on the files and it will be installed through Ubuntu Software Center. In fact its easier to download and install software under Ubntu than in Windows ;-)
Now, once it is installed, you can use it to tweak otherwise hidden settings which a new user usually can't found under system settings. The beauty of Ubuntu Tweaks is in how easy it is to use and configure your system as you want. It can very easily be used to change the windows controls from left to right which most of the users would like to do. It also gives you the ability to add computer, network, trash and home folder on desktop. Let's get our hands dirty!
