How does Ubuntu make you more productive?
February 16th, 2009
Do you have any stories or insights as to how Ubuntu has made you more productive? Would you like to share your insights? I am looking for people who have thoughts that would help newcomers and seasoned users alike. Anything that can help Ubuntu users become more productive. Whether its with the Ubuntu OS itself, or other software tools you run on Ubuntu. Interested? Drop me a line at ubuntuproductivity [at] gmail [dot] com.
The only real requirement is your post must be relevant to the Ubuntu community and this blog’s focus on productivity. Some ideas are:
- Shortcuts
- Tips and tricks
- Resources
- Software tools
- Methods and workflows
Just to be up front about it, there’s no money involved. I just do this for fun and education. Your reward will be similar, including the enjoyment of sharing your experience + a link to your blog/site/whatever you want.

I am a huge fan of plain text documents for keeping notes and I recently found this tip to highlight text from any application/web page and you can drag the text to the desktop and it will create a new text document with the dragged text. This is a huge time saver for me. Note that I believe this is a Gnome feature so it may not work for KDE as I haven’t tested it. http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/06/lesser-known-drag-and-drop-tips-in.html

I’m a relatively new linux user (using ubuntu since january).
I think linux improves the speed and the duration of the batery of my notebook. The preinstalled programs are very easy to use and I’m not worried anymore about the computer viruses that would infect windows now and then…
