Linux Ubuntu - Latest Version - No templates installed - Grammar Rays - Jul 13, 2012
I'm right clicking on my desktop, trying to create a new file.
Right click > Create New Document > No templates installed
Any idea why I don't have any templates installed? Is that normal or did I fuck up during installation?

Also try changing file manager.

If your only going to create a document then you don't need to save an extension. Open it with nano, vi or gui text editor and it'll open.

I love this about *nix. No real file extensions (not like in Windows, at least).

Eww, you're running Linux Ubuntu? Gross.
I'm currently running Arch.
I used to have Gentoo.

Don't be so hateful and bitter, joke yeah ubuntu is shit @OP try starting on Debian. You don't actually have to use arch, gentoo and the likes to dive in to a certain distro flavor I dived into FreeBSD and managed to install it rather easily and set everything up after going through the habits. I only have 2 years Debian experience, nothing on BSD.

I would recommend Crunchbang to start off with instead of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a POS in my opinion.

Really I'm just using Ubuntu just to get my footing in Linux, I'll probably go through other distros/flavors in the future.

I'm kind of the same here, but I'm using Linux Mint. I can't stand the current Ubuntu in the slightest. That entire side bar thing is just a way to waste my space.
I also have Slackware, but I use it less often.

I found Ubuntu to be quite unresponsive compared to other distro's, maybe it's just my computer that sucks.. But it's an Ubuntu specific problem.

If you are capable, I'd suggest diving into Debian. You might have to compile a few sources like java and flash but that's about it. It focuses more on the terminal than Ubuntu or Mint and requires a bit more tuning.
