let me know if you want to know about softwares for any specific purpose.
 
i just read your post again:

for C++ development install codeblocks or geany. do install g++ compiler also.

for php I use netbeans. not advised for beginners. beginners should begin with a plain text editor.

linux guys don't develop in c#.

in old days i used to spend a lot of time improving my desktop looks. thankfully linux desktops (gnome/cinnammon/unity/kde) are at war with each other. so, now i am able to focus on some serious work.

you need not to worry about viruses or anything like that. just regularly update your system. i suppose your internet router by default blocks unwanted connections.

for backup you do have dropbox clinets. many folder-sync tools. it depends which backup method you want to use.

i suggest join some local linux user's group or there must be one in your college.

Thank you very much Sir :)

I am new to linux as it is there in our syllabus for t.y and i do wanted to start using open source system :D
c# i asked because it is also a subject in our syllabus.

I have installed netbeans as we will be taught Core Java in netBeans so no problem with it :)

One question that i have been having is about swap memory as i have 8Gb ram and i have given 9 - 10 gb as swap but my system is not utilizing the swap memory :(
i haven't done any mods for the system but wish to !

i have read that Gnome is a heavy environment and people go for changing it to make system faster o_O
Pls are there any tools like adobe after effects for linux which i can use to do some animation work for presentations !!!!!!!
