Once you have successfully installed a Linux distribution, there are a few more important
steps:
1. Get familiar with the preferred package manager used by your chosen Linux
distribution. Linux uses package manager's to download and update any software
that you plan to use. For example, Ubuntu uses the 
Advanced Packaging Tool
(APT)
.
2. Use your distribution's package manager to update and upgrade your distribution.
Software packages in a stable release of a Linux distribution are often outdated. It
is recommended to regularly run an update. You may also want to run an upgrade,
which installs newer versions of any packages that you've already installed. For
example, if you're using Ubuntu, run: 
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
.
3. Learn more about the 
Linux resources available at Microsoft
