Wenn Ihr Rechner fertig hochgefahren ist und nachdem Sie Ihre Anmeldedaten eingegeben haben, erreichen Sie die Xubuntu-Arbeitsumgebung. Sie kommt mit vielen Funktionen, die Ihnen das Leben leicht machen, und es lohnt sich die Zeit zu nehmen sie kennenzulernen.
Die Xubuntu-Arbeitsumgebung hat eine einzelne Leiste, welche sich am oberen Rand des Bildschirms befindet.
The panel is used for starting and switching applications and for receiving information about your system. On the left side of the panel you will see the Xubuntu logo, . Clicking on this icon will open the Menu, offering you many choices of applications to start. Along the bottom of the menu window are icons for Settings Manager, Lock Screen and Log Out.
The middle section of the panel is dedicated to window buttons for open applications. On the far right is the clock, displaying the date and time. To the left of that is the Notification Area. Here you will see indicators which give you information on your system, including network connectivity, sound volume level, battery status (when appropriate), instant messages and more. Some notification icons will only appear as necessary, for instance when software updates are available.
Sowohl die Position der Leiste als auch die Objekte, die sie enthält, sind konfigurierbar. Das Menü ist ebenfalls anpassbar. Lesen Sie Kapitel 4, Einstellungen für nähere Informationen zu diesen Themen.

The File Manager's default view consists of a shortcut pane on the left side, the main area on the right, and a pathbar above the main area. The shortcut pane provides shortcuts to different folders on your system. The first shortcut under PLACES will lead to your home directory, the directory where you store all your personal data, and will therefore have the name of the current user. That directory will probably appear empty. The File System shortcut under DEVICES will take you to the root of your filesystem. You may want to explore it a bit, even though it will be confusing to you if you are new to Linux. Just click on the different folders and see what's inside. When you're done, return to your home directory by clicking on the top shortcut.
