Outline the major steps you performed in the activity. Reference any
major problems you encountered and how you resolved them. Include
screenshots.
What I did in this activity was went and opened Linux in the lab. After that I
explored around checking system and computer out. I then started to do what Step
3 was saying to do, which was to go and look certain things up like display, network,
and a few other areas. I then proceeded to finish doing what was being asked of me
to do and took screen shoots and attached them to this activity. Then proceeded to
answer questions that followed in Step 4.
2.
What I Learned
Summarize what you learned from the activity. Include major
points of what you learned or understood better after the experience.
What I learned from this activity is that Linux is different but does have some
of the similarity of Windows. I started to get frustrated due to not
understanding and unable to locate things right away , except I still am
unable to locate an application I installed. Another thing
I learned was more
commands prompts, like -R is for directories.

1.
What are some of the similarities in the GUI between Windows and Mac and
Ubuntu?
There are several similarities in the graphical user interface (GUI) between
Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu. All three operating system use a desktop as the main
interface for interacting with the computer. This includes a taskbar or dock for
launching and switching between applications, and a system tray or menu bar for
accessing settings and notifications. All three operating systems also support the
use of Windows for individual application and allow for the use of a mouse and
keyboard for navigation. Additionally, all three operating systems support the use
of icons and folders for organizing files and documents.

o
What did you like best about Ubuntu?
I liked how its setup is different, which makes it a challenge at first trying to figure
out where everything is and how to access certain things. I like a challenge from
time to time, makes it interesting and proactive.
2.
What are some of the differences in the GUI between Windows and Mac and
Ubuntu?
Some differences in the GUI of the three operating systems would be Windows and
Mac use a Start menu or Apple menu, respectively, for accessing settings and
applications while Ubuntu uses the Unity launcher. Windows and Mac also include
a Start screen or Launchpad, respectively, for quick accessing and organizing
applications, while Ubuntu uses the Unity Dash Overall.
o
What did you like least about Ubuntu?
I found the Ubuntu backports to a fabulous project and effort but the speed at
which different software are updated on backports is a little slow.
Another thing I liked least about Ubuntu is the Synaptic/apt-get does not always
automatically add shortcuts to the programs it installs to the menu.
3.
Find and launch the System Monitor app and look at the Resources tab.
o
Approximately how much Memory and Swap History did the system
use?
As for the Memory it has used 1018.2 MiB (51.4 %) of 1.9 GiB and has 773.7 MiB
Cache.
For Swap it used 228.8 MiB (16.3 %) of 1.4 GiB
o
What is the Swap History in reference to? (
Hint: think the type of
memory.
)
Swap History is a type of memory that computers use to offload
demands on the current RAM. The operating system does this by
borrowing some space form somewhere else – the startup disk, in this
case – using it to temporary store some data while the RAM is busy
handling other tasks.
4.
Were you able to install, launch, and use an app?
I had attempted to install an app called appearance which is an app to change and
make different background wallpapers/themes. However, it said that it had
installed and was finished. I went to click open on it and nothing happened. I
Couldn’t even locate it when I type the name of the app in the search bar.
5.
Where was the app installed in the OS? (
Location of the app, which directory.
)
I was not able to find nor locate where it got installed to or where at for that
matter.
6.
What differences did you notice when switching between the Admin and
Standard User accounts?
An Admin account is like a standard account but with some additional privileges.
These privileges allow you to manage system files or do anything without requiring
confirmation. With an Administrator account, you can also access all those files that
other users own on the same computer.
7.
What is the default application for Web?
Firefox -is the default browsers for Ubuntu and the latest version of Ubuntu
always comes with the latest version of Firefox.
On the desktop, you will see
Firefox as the third component on the lefthand side. Double -click the icon to
get started.
8.
What is the default application for Photos?
Ubuntu default image viewer is called “Eye of GNOME” ( is often referred to by its
package name of
“egg”). It does its job well enough: it lets you view images stored
om your computer with a few clicks.
However, it does not allow you to edit and or
doing anything to the image that your checking out.
9.
What was the IPv4 Address and the Hardware Address?
IPv4 address was 10.1.103.90
Hardware address was 96:6E:1C:1E:74:17
10.Where can you find the details about the OS, memory, and processor?
If you right-click on the computer icon and select Properties. Here you’ll see a basic
list of specs, such as your processor, available RAM, some support numbers
(depending on the PC manufacturers)), and which version of Window’s your running
for the view information about your CPU, use the iscpu command as it shows
information amount about your CPU architecture such as the numbers of. CPUs,
cores, CPU family model. CPU caches, threads, etc. from sysfs and /proc/cpuinfo
Use the cat command to display the data held in /proc/cpuinfo. This command will
produce a lot of text, typically it will repeat the same information for the number of
cores present in you CPU. A more concise means to get most of the information is
via iscpu a command that lists the CPU details.
