* **Standby mode:** Currently no standby / suspend mode available. Screen just gets dark.
* **Terminal:** Access additional Terminal keyboard controls by clicking on the globe icon (reveals Ctrl, Alt, and arrow keys, plus other symbols, controls, and Function keys - including Esc and Tab; press the `>_` key to see the extras). // Here's a quick and fun introduction to basic Terminal commands: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/command-line-for-beginners#1-overview
* **User name:** Default user name is: `purism`. Additional user names can be added from the terminal; at present this is not supported in the `Settings` GUI.
* **Web Apps:** Installation as seen in the [Video Walkthrough](https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-visual-walkthrough/). Deletion / adaption via [Web Application Manager](https://docs.puri.sm/Librem_5/Web.html#web-applications)
## Software installations and updates (apps and OS)
* **Install Software:** In case installing software from PureOS store does not work --> Do it from terminal e.g. `sudo apt install firefox-esr`. Note that PureOS store, by default, lists software that has been adapted to the Librem 5's screen. Other packages can be found and installed using the search tool within the store, but may not scale well to the screen without further modification. Using `Scale Screen` app, a part of `librem5-goodies`, to temporarily reduce scale, may help with such non-adaptive apps.
* **System/Software Updates:** Click Updates tab within PureOS Store, or install from Terminal. Tip for those new to Linux: Within Terminal, enter: `sudo apt update` followed by `sudo apt upgrade` (if any updates available). (sudo = superuser do / i.e. admin level action)
* **Enable Flatpak with Flathub repository**: Flatpak support and PureOS store integration are installed by default. Only need to add the Flathub repository via the terminal as described in their setup description [step 3](https://flatpak.org/setup/Debian/)
(`flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`)
* **Web Apps:** You can create an app icon from a web page in the browser as shown in the [Video Walkthrough](https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-visual-walkthrough/) at position 2m:20s. Deletion / adaption via [Web Application Manager](https://docs.puri.sm/Librem_5/Web.html#web-applications)
