Ubuntu is the boss. Although it does annoy me that I have to do xgamma -gamma 0.8 in the terminal each time I want to look at some photos (which is practically every time I turn on the computer). Do you know if there is a way around this, to keep that gamma setting for good?

I have never had that problem, however I don't use stock Ubuntu. I have added my own theme. You could write a .sh script that runs the command and add it as a startup script.

I'm just a lowly female, so that sounds like something way above my pay grade! It's practically a miracle my laptop doesn't explode each time when I use the Terminal.

Please don´t tell that. There are noobs falling for that scheme much too often. I assume you don´t want people to wreck their system.

If someone falls for that they should not be using Linux. Another cool command is sudo shred -v /dev/sdX


Replace sdX with your hard drive partition. Enter your password when prompted. Enjoy

As far as I know Linux is a system for all people, with distributions like Ubuntu, Mint and Puppy also meant for people to be able to use in less affluent parts of the world. I think this is an OS designed for people with little resources, both financial and educational. As anecdotal evidence I fit in just right.
