Chapter 1.1 Retrieving the image
=================================
Before you install Lubuntu, you need to retrieve the correct image. Lubuntu supports AMD64 CPU types also known as 64-bit with a new version every six months (supported for nine months), and every two years being a long term support release (supported for three years). Lubuntu 20.04 is a Long Term Support release supported until 2023. Lubuntu 21.04 is supported until January 2022.
LTS vs. Regular Releases
------------------------
Lubuntu offers two types of releases. The **Long Term Support** release, or the **LTS**, is the release recommended for most users. It is supported for three years after the release date and does not contain new features. Throughout the course of the cycle, the Ubuntu Kernel Team will deliver **Hardware Enablement** updates, or **HWE** updates, to Lubuntu via Linux kernel updates. Previously, Lubuntu used **LXDE** but since 18.10 it has used the **LXQt**. Lubuntu 20.04 is the First **Long Term Support** release which uses the more modern **LXQt** desktop environment.

For users looking to try new features every six months at the expense of the support cycle length, Lubuntu offers **interim releases**, or **regular releases**. These releases, while they are considered stable, are testing grounds for major, new features which will be rolled into the LTS release. Users of the regular releases are typically enthusiasts and somewhat more experienced users looking for a fresher experience.
**It is extremely important that if you choose this path, you upgrade to each successive regular release shortly after it comes out.** If you are not comfortable doing this, you should consider using the LTS release instead.

Manual partitioning
-----------------------
.. Warning::
Trying to use nonlinux filesystems such as NTFS or FAT as your root filesystem will result in a broken system.
If you wish to manual set up partitions, as an advanced option you will have to choose which file-system you want. A file-system controls how your files are accessed at lower levels on the disk. If you are booting your computer in UEFI mode a more modern firmware compared to BIOS you will need to create an EFI system partition (see `efi system partition Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition>`_ for more detail). To create this partition you will need a FAT32 file-system with the ESP flag to be mounted at /boot/efi/ under the mount point. You will also need a root (/) file-system, several file-systems included for Lubuntu are Ext4, XFS, and Btrfs.

Chapter 2.1.5 Trojita
=====================
Trojita is the default IMAP email client of Lubuntu.
.. note::
Trojita does not do POP3 so you cannot access your email by that method with Trojita.
Usage
------
To use Trojita you will need to input your account information. You will need to type in your name so people know what call you and the email address so Trojita needs to know what address to get information from. The :guilabel:`IMAP` tab has settings for how to get messages to your machine. The :guilabel:`Encryption` method tells what kind of encryption to use when accessing your mail as needed for your mail provider. The :guilabel:`Server` field is where you input what server to get your email from. The :guilabel:`Port` tells Trojita which network port to access the server on. The :guilabel:`Username` field tells Trojita which username to send to the email server.
.. image:: IMAP_settings.png
.. image:: IMAP-SMTP.png
After entering this in you will be asked to check the certificate for your server and will need to select the :guilabel:`yes` for the first time. If you did not insert your password to be stored on your computer a dialog box will popup and you will need to input it.
After you have set everything up a set of folders will appear on the left hand side.
To change how long Trojita stores messages in offline mode from the settings from :menuselection:`IMAP --> Settings` and use the :guilabel:`Offline` tab. To not store messages offfline select the :guilabel:`Don't use cache` button. To keep your email messages indefinetly press the :guilabel:`Store forever` button.
.. image:: trojita-offline.png
To send an email to someone press :kbd:`Control +N` or :menuselection:`IMAP --> Compose Mail --> New Message`. Then you will bring up a compose mail window. Type the email address of the person you want to type the address where it says :guilabel:`To`. Put the subject of your message in the :guilabel:`Subject` line. In the main part of the message called the body is where you will add most of your message. If you want to attach a file to your email press the button with the paperclip on it that says :guilabel:`Attach`. To send your message press the :guilabel:`Send` button. To save a draft of your message press the :guilabel:`Cancel` button and then press the :guilabel:`Save` button to actually save the draft. If you don't want to save a message press the :guilabel:`Cancel` button and then press the :guilabel:`Discard` button. To reopen a saved draft of a message :menuselection:`IMAP --> Compose Mail --> Edit Draft...`.
.. image:: trojita-compose.png
To view your messages on Trojita to see new messages you have received in your inbox left click on the word :guilabel:`Inbox`. In the center of the window will show a list of all messages in your inbox. Unread messages will appear in bold. To view a message left click on the title and subject of the window and it will appear at the bottom. If you want to open this email in a popup window of its own double click the message title. If you receive an email with an attachment a paperclip will appear on the message and click that to download the attachment or open it directly. To switch from text to HTML view click the :guilabel:`HTML` tab. To switch back to text click on the :guilabel:`Text` tab. Sometimes HTML email needs to be load external things to view the email and Trojita does not load them by default for privacy but to actually load the content press the :guilabel:`Load` button.
Your different folders are on a sidebar on the left hand side of Trojita. To switch to another folder such as sent mail to view your sent messages left click on the :guilabel:`Sent Mail` folder in this case. To switch to the drafts folder left click where it says :guilabel:`Drafts`. To remember messages for only a specified numbers of days press the :guilabel:`Remember messages for X days` button and use the below field to select the number of days.
To move to the next unread message press the :kbd:`n` key or to move to the previous message press the :kbd:`p` key. To manually toggle marking a message as read press the :kbd:`m` key.
To reply to a message to just the person that sent it press :kbd:`Control + Shift +A` or :menuselection:`IMAP --> Private Reply`. To forward an email to someone else press :kbd:`Control +Shift+F` or :menuselection:`IMAP --> Forward`. If you want to delete a message from your mailbox press :kbd:`Control+E` or :menuselection:`IMAP --> Expunge`.
.. image:: trojita.png
In the center of the window there are several different columns that show you information about each different email you have received. The :guilabel:`Subject` line shows you a subject that should tell you what each message is about. The :guilabel:`From` column shows who is sending you this email. The :guilabel:`Date` Column show when the email was sent to you. The :guilabel:`Size` column shows you how much space the email takes up on your account on the email server. To see if there is an attachment to a message a column has what looks like a paperclip and it has a paperclip in it if that email has an attachment.
When writing a reply message a window will pop up to write your message in. To send the message press the :guilabel:`Send` button. If you change your mind about sending this message press the :guilabel:`Cancel`.
To manually check for new messages :menuselection:`Mailbox --> Check for new messages`. To hide read messages :menuselection:`View --> Hide read messages` and uncheck this to see read messages again. To view newest messages in Trojita first :menuselection:`View --> Sorting --> Descending`. To switch back to your old view of oldest message first :menuselection:`View --> Sorting --> Ascending`.
To launch an address book of saved contacts :menuselection:`IMAP --> Address Book`. To add a new message to contacts press the :guilabel:`Add` button. Once on the new contact double click on the fields which are all optional. If you press the X button and have changes you will bring up a dialog to save the changes.
To change your view of Trojita to view only one message at a time or the view of your inbox :menuselection:`View --> Layout --> One At Time` which is quite useful on small screens. To view you message in a three column format with your folders to the list of message in each folder in the center and then the message itself on the right :menuselection:`View --> Layout --> Wide`. To return to your original view :menuselection:`View --> Layout --> Compact`.
