for those of you that have been using Windows or Mac OS and this beginner's

let's first take a look at the top bar clicking on activities in the top left
gives you a search bar to help find programs files and folders on your
computer on the right side is workspaces this is where you can create multiple desktop environments on the same computer when you have any programs opened they will show up to the right of activities this is where you can get quick access to the settings among other stuff depending on which program yyo have open the date and time appear in the middle of the top bar clicking on it brings up a calendar and any notifications in the top right yyou'l see the system indicators selecting any
of them brings up a single menu to adjust the system volume network
settings lock your screen and you can restart or power off your computer from here as well the dock on the left side of the screen shows your file explorer
your favorite programs along with ones that are currently running and in the lower left is the app drawer this is where you'll find the programs
that are installed on your computer in the lower middle you can switch between your most frequently used programs and all now that you have a general idea of how to get around a bun - let's dive deeper into the various features of this operating system since this is a beginners tutorial we'll avoid the use keyboard of the terminal window and keyboard shortcuts I'll cover those in future videos let's now take a closer look at the dock which is sometimes referred to as the launcher or the sidebar to open
any program in the dock left click on itjust like any operating system you can minimize maximize or close out any window in the upper right right-clicking any app icon gives app specific functions for example with Firefox you can open a new window open a new private window remove from favourites or show details about that app the icons for the apps can be moved by left clicking aan dragging to its new location.
if you have programs that use on a regular basis you should add those to the dock here's how you do that go to the app drawer in the lower left find and open the program you'd like to add blender is a good one you'll see that its icon now appears in the dock right-click on it and select add to favorites and that's all there is to it earlier I showed you workspaces where you can create multiple desktop environments to move this window to a new workspace select activities in the upper left let's click and drag the window to a different workspace just use the workspace selector to switch between workspaces to workspaces are initially automatic provided new ones appear automatically
