After fresh new ubuntu linux installation guide

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

1. Mouse accelerator was too fast. So I run these commands to make it slower.

to see list of devices:
 xinput --list --short 

to see configuration of my mouse: (my mouse id was 11)
xinput --list-props 11

to set mouse accelerator to 0.5:
xinput --set-prop 11 275 0.5

Here is the full instruction.


2. Installed unity-tweak-tool to add new cool desktop actions such as toggling desktop as mouse approaches the left bottom corner. 

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

but It was not working, so as advised I installed this:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins-extra -y

after that type ccs in search bar and run the program. Inside the program go to 'desktop' section, choose
'Ubuntu Unity Plugin', inside go to 'Switcher' tab and uncheck 'Show live previews of windows in the Switcher'.

Afterwards, it worked. But I have no idea the last steps had effected or not.

3. Then I installed terminator with 

sudo apt-get install terminator
