and opening the text editor in Ubuntu Linux. The guide outlines the actions taken to navigate the
command line and the command issued to open the text editor

The process was initiated by launching VirtualBox on my computer and selected the Ubuntu
Linux virtual machine.
, I initiated the boot process was initiated by Clicking on the "Start" button of the virtual
machine.
Once Ubuntu had booted up, I located the application launcher, which was conveniently situated
in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
By clicking on the application launcher, I opened it, revealing a menu of available applications.
Within the application launcher, I utilized the search function to locate the text editor application
quickly.

search results.
Opening the Text Editor Application
Once the text editor application ("Text Editor" or "gedit") appeared in the search results, I
selected it by clicking on it.
This action launched the text editor application, which promptly displayed either a blank
document or any previously open document.
Text Editing
To create a new file, I navigated to the "File" option located in the menu bar at the top of the text
editor application.
Selecting "New" from the menu or using the associated keyboard shortcut, I initiated the creation
of a new file within the text editor.
To open an existing file, I again accessed the "File" option in the menu bar and chose "Open."
Then, I navigated to the desired file's location and selected it.
With the file open in the text editor, I utilized the available features and functionalities to edit the
contents of the file effectively.
Summary
Overall, I found the process of installing VirtualBox and Ubuntu to be straightforward. The
Ubuntu installation steps are very similar to installing Windows. The main challenge was getting used to
the Linux terminal andfinding applications, since I am used to a Windows environment. The terminal uses
a lot of unfamiliar text-based commands compared to the graphical interface I am used to. However, the
GUI still provides point-and-click interaction for basic tasks like opening apps. Ubuntu seems very user-
friendly and I can see similarities to Windows in terms of the dock, search bar, and general layout. After
more practice, I think I would get comfortable using both the terminal and the Ubuntu desktop
environment.
