Installing Nemo on Ubuntu

Nemo is a fork of Nautilus

Installing Nemo:

sudo apt install nemo

Making Nemo the default file manager in Ubuntu:

xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search

Set up Nemo to handle the desktop completely, in this order. The first command disables the handling of desktop by Nautilus:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false

The second command enables Nemo to take its place:

gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true

You have now made Nemo the default file manager in Ubuntu. You can verify it by using the following:

/home/username/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/

Find the folder associated with the version of Proton that is running your game, examples:

• Proton Experimental
• Proton 9.0-3
• Proton 8.0-5

Within this folder, you should find a user_settings.sample.py file. The .py extension means it is a python file. Open this file in your text editor of choice, and you should find the following line:

Git is a version control system for managing your files

Initialise an empty Git repository in our current working directory:

git init

Any files in this directory will be added to the changes list.

You should then create a .gitignore file

touch .gitignore

You should keep private things here, like sensitive API keys. You can find default settings for this file

We next want to commit our changes, which is to send our local files into the Git repository. We need to stage the files that we want included in this commit.
