Things To Do After Installing A Linux OS

Well, modern distributions today come equipped with most of the software and tools we require, still, it isn't 100% of what we call a full-loaded beast. Depending on your choice of Desktop Environment or Window Manager, you'd get default media players, file managing tools, document editing tools. To take full advantage, you gotta install your own choice of strain. 🌿





1. UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM

No explanation here.

~# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade


2. INSTALL VLC

Yeah, we all know that the default media players which come preinstalled suck. VLC is the way to go.

~#apt-get install vlc


3. INSTALL SKYPE

No workstation is complete without a communication software. Skype is my personal choice. Telegram is also good.

~# apt-get install skypeforlinux



4. INSTALL  TORRENT CLIENT

Deluge is my personal favorite.

~# apt-get install deluge



5. INSTALL EMAIL CLIENT

Web interfaces are pain in the ass. Clients are much more powerful and faster. Install Mozilla Thunderbird.

~# apt-get install thunderbird


6. INSTALL TERMINAL MULTIPLEXER

Using multiplexers, we can open several terminal windows inside a single window. Tilix is a good one.

~# apt-get install tilix


7. CREATE A LOW PRIVILEGED USER

Some distros like Kali Linux come with only a root user. For beginners, this could be risky. Moreover, some software like. HexChat and VLC aren't supposed to be run as root. Root must only be used when required.
 

These are the 7 things which I do after intsalling a Linux OS. What are yours?

How To Create Strong Password

My last post taught you about making your PC say something. This post is gonna teach you creating strong passwords. Password is a secret word or phrase that must be used to gain admission to something... It allows you gain access to a computer, interface or a system. As pentesting is one of my interests, it's my daily work to crack passwords and make my system more secure. We, network security administrators know the methods to crack weak passwords easily and trust me, even a noob or script kiddie can crack them just by using some tools. A lot of noobs try social engineering too to gain access to your important stuff. If you have a strong password, it's difficult for people to guess it and hence, your account remains safe and secure.
