* **Battery fuel meter** [needs adjustments](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/198) and for the time being is not precise. E.g. when fully loaded, the red charging led turns off and battery fuel meter indicates 70%.
* **Dark mode:** Not available out-of-the-box. Can be tweaked by using GNOME Tweaks app and set any theme you want there.
Alternatively, use [gsettings](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/gsettings.1.html): `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Adwaita-dark"`
* **File manager:** Install `nautilus` (not adaptive yet). Download [this ](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/blob/master/helpers/scale-to-fit) and scale it to fit the screen. From the directory where the script is run `scale-to-fit org.gnome.nautilus on`

Note: Exercise caution when downloading files from the internet.
File manager [nemo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemo_%28file_manager%29) scales well without additional tweaks, especially in landscape. It can be installed with the command: `sudo apt install nemo`
* **Firewall:** To enable [ufw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncomplicated_Firewall) (uncomplicated firewall), open terminal and enter `sudo ufw status` and if it's not yet enabled, enter `sudo ufw enable`. The default is usually all you need, but you have the options of adding additional rules. Use `sudo ufw disable` to disable. To call up a graphical interface inside the terminal, first install gufw and install x11-xserver-utils. Next type the following command: `DISPLAY=:0 xhost +` and hit enter, resulting in: `access control disabled, clients can connect from any host`. Now type: `DISPLAY=:0 GDK_BACKEND=x11 sudo gufw` and the graphical version will appear right in the terminal. (Note that after you close the terminal, the app icon in the phone's app list will not be operational unless you repeat the above process, at least unless someone adapts it later.
