Issue In my laptop, Windows 11 has an issue with rebooting. Each time it tries to reboot, I immediately run into a blank screen. However, rebooting works perfectly fine within Ubuntu. Thus, I wanted to set Ubuntu as First preference instead of Windows. Setting Ubuntu as First Preference I went to boot manager and changed preference order anu@laptop:~$ sudo efibootmgr [sudo] password for anu: BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0004,0001,0003,9999 Boot0004* Windows Boot Manager.........

Current Status Thus, I have postponed this issue until I have time to work on it again. And I set Ubuntu as the first preference in BIOS, so it will automatic...

I love customizing a device as soon as I start using it, to give it a personal touch and be able to easily use my desktop as I like. It makes me feel comfortable with the device when I establish my mini realm within it. So, of course when I installed Ubuntu, the first thing I did was explore it thoroughly and customized it. One of the factors I find elegant about Linux is the sheer amount of customization possible. I'd actually first used Linux Mint at 15 during high school and absolutely loved playing with it — I remember missing those customizations a lot after switching back to Windows on the new PC. So when I installed Ubuntu, Linux immediately captivated me again. These are a list of all the Customization I made and shortcuts that I set. 1. Set a wallpaper This is the most basic, but the most crucial thing for me. The wallpaper is something that makes me feel calm and happy again. I am a huge fan of the novel Heaven Official's Blessing, so my wallpaper is usually Hu...

I noticed that the three finger swipe touchpad gestures had suddenly stopped working on my desktop. Features such as switching desktops, all windows view also stopped working. This is what fixed it: Log out. At corner left there is an option that says     - Ubuntu on Xorg     - Ubuntu on Wayland ✅  3. Click on Ubuntu on Wayland and log in again.  Reason for this issue: There are no three finger touchpad gestures on X11.. Switch to Wayland to enable touchpad gestures.  Notes: Xorg and Wayland are display systems used by Ubuntu.  Xorg is the older display system. It is very stable and compatible, but has limited touchpad gestures.. Wayland is the modern replacement for Xorg. It has better performance and security, and is gesture friendly.
