Your new operating system is up and running, and your journey into Linux has begun. Here’s where to focus your efforts next.
ou’ve added Elementary OS alongside Windows, you’ve installed the apps you need Y for everyday life, what next? The walkthrough (below) touches on some of the fundamental aspects of Linux you need to tackle at some point: keeping your system updated, file and folder permissions, and the terminal. But before that, what else needs to be done to get you set up?
Let’s start with accessing your Windows drive. It’s likely you have personal files and folders stashed in your personal user folder, and the good news is that Elementary OS can read and write data to and from NTFS-formatted drives out of the box. Open Files and you should see your Windows drive under Storage. Double-click this and navigate to the Users folder to find your user folders all nested under your username.
