Linux for Java Developer
https://linuxmint.com/pictures/screenshots/tricia/cinnamon.png
Working on Windows for the past 10 Years, I felt the urge to explore whats in store in Linux, Because i always imagined Linux to be a OS with just a terminal in it, and was scared to never try it out.
So this lock down(covid-19) time gave me an ample time and opportunity to explore it. So i did some research and found linux mint and ubantu to be the best ones for beginners. Due to some drivers issue in my PC hence have to stick to Linux mint.
My experience with Linux is just wow.The simplicity, forget about the open-source, free etc.I focus on just the User experience and productivity and i am really happy and ask everyone to try it once.
Below are some helpful steps I did to start my development activities.
Install linux mint
Linux mint has no inbuilt mouse scroll speed control:
Mouse Scroll:-
sudo apt-get install imwheel && wget http://www.nicknorton.net/mousewheel.sh && chmod +x mousewheel.sh && ./mousewheel.sh
set it in startup menu
Use the usermod command to add the user to the sudo/root group:-
adduser <username>
usermod -aG sudo <username>
userdel <username>
To Enable Snap in Linux Mint 20,
Open terminal as root.
Type the followingcommand: # rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref. This will enable Snap.
Now, update the packagecache for apt with this command: # apt update
Finally, install the snapdpackage: # apt install snapd

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo systemctl status ssh
