Once Ubuntu is installed, some initial configurations are required to make the system functional. Participants will connect the computer to the internet, either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and ensure that all system updates are installed. Keeping the system updated is important for security and performance. They will also learn how to add new users or customize their current user account settings. The Appearance settings can be adjusted for personal preferences, and Privacy settings can be reviewed to ensure the system meets the user’s needs. The Software & Updates tool will be used to manage repositories and enable additional drivers if necessary.
