WEBVTT

00:01.020 --> 00:01.440
Right.

00:01.440 --> 00:07.380
So now that we have tills installed and we learned how to boot into it and this lecture, I want to

00:07.380 --> 00:11.280
give you a basic overview on this operating system.

00:11.820 --> 00:15.930
So first of all, on the top here we have the status bar.

00:16.470 --> 00:23.970
On the top left we have the applications menu, which contains a number of application categories nicely

00:23.970 --> 00:30.060
in terms of what they can be used for and the favorites you have your programs that you'll probably

00:30.060 --> 00:31.560
be using most of the time.

00:31.560 --> 00:36.410
We have the Tor browser, which we already know what it is and what it can be used for.

00:36.420 --> 00:39.090
We have Thunderbird, which is an email client.

00:39.090 --> 00:46.140
We have Pidgin, which is an instant messenger that can be configured to not keep any traces of you.

00:46.230 --> 00:51.990
We have a password manager and we have a terminal which we can use to run Linux commands.

00:52.970 --> 00:59.000
You can actually go through all of these and get familiar with all of the offered programs on the Internet.

00:59.030 --> 01:01.970
Here again, we have some of the programs that I just showed you.

01:02.000 --> 01:05.240
We also have Electron, which is a Bitcoin wallet.

01:06.210 --> 01:11.520
You have office programs, labor office that you can use instead of Microsoft Office Word.

01:11.610 --> 01:17.490
You have media programs and all the usual stuff that you see on different operating systems.

01:18.120 --> 01:22.500
Now, don't worry about all of the strange programs that you don't know in here.

01:22.650 --> 01:26.270
We will be using a lot of them as we go through the course.

01:26.280 --> 01:31.080
So right now, I'm just giving you a basic overview of the whole operating system.

01:31.080 --> 01:33.750
That's why I'm not going to be running any of them.

01:34.710 --> 01:41.160
Beside the applications we have the Places menu, which will allow you to access different folders in

01:41.160 --> 01:42.450
your file system.

01:42.990 --> 01:49.020
So as you can see, if we click on the home, we will actually get a file manager in the home directory.

01:49.020 --> 01:54.570
As you can see in here, you'll get to this exact location if you just double click the home icon in

01:54.570 --> 01:55.140
here.

01:56.360 --> 02:01.700
So again, as you can see here, we have a number of files similar to what you get with Windows.

02:01.700 --> 02:05.690
So we have documents, downloads, music, pictures and so on.

02:06.500 --> 02:13.760
Again, you can access each of these directories individually by going to places and just clicking on

02:13.760 --> 02:15.830
the directory that you want to access.

02:16.650 --> 02:18.060
Now it goes without saying.

02:18.060 --> 02:20.810
You can also navigate to this through this menu.

02:20.820 --> 02:26.760
You can double click a directory to open it and double click a file to execute it or to open it with

02:26.760 --> 02:28.200
its default program.

02:28.620 --> 02:33.150
Right click to create new directory to copy and paste to get properties.

02:33.150 --> 02:39.510
So it's all intuitive and it's all very, very similar to what you get with other operating systems.

02:40.900 --> 02:46.690
Now another really cool feature with tales is the fact that it supports multiple desktops.

02:46.720 --> 02:53.110
So right now we have a workspace right here, and let's say this workspace gets cluttered with a lot

02:53.110 --> 02:55.750
of applications, a lot of open windows.

02:55.750 --> 02:59.440
So let's open another window, for example, on documents.

02:59.710 --> 03:06.910
And let's say you already you also have a browser and you want to do more stuff than you can actually

03:06.910 --> 03:11.380
press control, alt and down to go to a new workspace.

03:11.380 --> 03:16.390
And right here I have an empty workspace which I can do more work in.

03:16.390 --> 03:22.360
So again, I can go to places and open something else here and I can do some work.

03:22.360 --> 03:28.930
For example, I can have my web browser in here and then control alt up to go to the first workspace.

03:29.110 --> 03:32.200
This one with the windows already open in here.

03:33.280 --> 03:40.960
Not only that, but you can also press the Windows button or the left command and se on OS x.

03:41.200 --> 03:47.260
This will reveal the activity menu which will first of all show you the open windows in the current

03:47.260 --> 03:48.340
workspace.

03:48.490 --> 03:54.460
It will also show you the available workspaces here on the right so I can click in here to go to the

03:54.460 --> 03:57.990
second workspace where I had my music open again.

03:58.000 --> 04:03.970
Click on this one to go to the first one and then click on the last one to go to the last workspace.

04:03.970 --> 04:10.270
So instead of pressing control, alt up and down, you can navigate through the workspaces like this.

04:10.270 --> 04:13.270
And also you can see the running applications.

04:14.210 --> 04:19.910
Not only that, but you can also see your favorite applications in here and a nice dock on the left.

04:20.030 --> 04:28.070
And you can press on this icon right here to get a list of all the applications installed on tables.

04:28.400 --> 04:34.160
So right here we have all of the other applications that we were navigating to through the applications

04:34.160 --> 04:34.820
menu.

04:35.000 --> 04:40.970
And if you can't find your application here or if you want to access it quickly, you can literally

04:40.970 --> 04:43.460
just type its name using the keyboard.

04:43.490 --> 04:50.060
So if I just type tore, it will bring me all of the applications that have the water in them.

04:50.150 --> 04:52.220
So this is really, really handy.

04:52.490 --> 04:58.220
Again, this is the activity view and you can access this by pressing the Windows button on Windows

04:58.220 --> 05:04.010
computers or the right cmd and SE on OS X computers.

05:05.000 --> 05:10.880
I'm going to press escape to exit this and we're back at the main desktop.

05:11.480 --> 05:13.890
Now, I think this is enough for this lecture.

05:13.910 --> 05:17.870
In the next lecture, I'll continue covering the basics of tails.

05:17.900 --> 05:23.510
I'll show you how to see the notifications, how to edit the preferences, how to connect to networks

05:23.510 --> 05:24.620
and so on.
