I don't really understand, why I have to do that, but I think it's related to the reduction of rights.

Welcome to the world of Linux, @henrik.jochum --- it's definitely much easier to break things, since you're given more control of your machine. You'll do a lot more googling in the coming days, but you'll be happy to find that thousands of people will have had all the same questions as you

I think Ubuntu is pretty self explanatory, and there are also many guides online on 'essential' software and so on. Even the Microsoft Teams .deb app worked fine for me today! And yeah, I think you've now down the hard part. But do let me know if you get stuck.

Oh, and you'll find yourself in the terminal more than before, some apps will need to be installed from the command line ... you'll get used to sudo apt-get install <package> in no time. Just so you know, sudo is a command that gives you more privileges, makes you into a super-user/admin, allowing you to do things to 'system' directories. Don't use sudo unless you need to though. Try without it, and if you get errors saying 'Permission denied' or similar, then and only then should sudo be the answer. You want to grant yourself admin privileges as rarely as possible, for reasons that will become clear in time
