1. Make sure that you have the latest libraries and packages

  launch the terminal from the menu or use the shortcut key Cntrl + Alt + T and enter the following command.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

2. Enable Partner Repositories

The next thing to do in Ubuntu 20 is to add additional repositories which might offer you more drivers and software updates; these are disabled in Ubuntu 20 by default. Most importantly, they are, after all, official but are not shared publicly due to restrictive licenses.

...

Go to Software & Updates.
Head over to the Other Software tab and select all the additional repositories other than Source Code Repositories.

3. Install Missing Graphic Drivers

Ubuntu 20 or the other Linux distributions might not be the go-to OS for gamers. Nevertheless, installing the latest graphics drivers is one of the first things you should do after installing Ubuntu or any other Linux distributions.

...

• Launch Software & Updates and hover over to the Additional Drivers tab.

• Under the Additional Drivers tab, you can choose whether to install the closed source proprietary software or open source x.org Xerver Driver.

• Installing the proprietary graphics driver is the recommended one in the list, and just as it reads, that would be the preferable one.

4. Installing Complete Multimedia Support

On the complete Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installation, you might remember the option to choose whether to install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3, and other media. Selecting this option would have already installed the necessary multimedia codecs and plugins. But the multimedia codecs are not installed in Ubuntu, nor is it available in the store.

...

sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras

5. Install Microsoft Fonts & Core Fonts

apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer & fonts-indic

6. Install Popular and Most useful Ubuntu software
