MAKE LINUX MINT GREAT AGAIN

Run every line one by one. Do not make this file executable. Copy and paste every line (you wanted to apply.).

This commands are what I do after every fresh Linux Mint Cinnamon install. I often do distro-hopping and switch back to Linux Mint again and again and again. (Arch is the best distor btw.)

So I wanted to create a file to list all of the things I do. This file includes cinnamon settings, wallpapers, nemo actions, removing bloatwares, installing apps that I often use, setting wallpaper and themes, adding some useful shortcuts and adding swap area. You don’t have to apply everything. You can inspire or learn something on this sheet.

There are some todos in this todo list.

Make GNU/Linux Great Again?

When I escaped from Windows to GNU/Linux I felt that the GNU/Linux ecosystem is like a remote, secluded beach. A place of tranquility, solitude and retreat from the outside world. Only the initiated ones could come, so that the beach remained well-kept and untainted. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case to me. Some came and thought ‘Oh, what a lovely place! Let’s build a resort here so that many more may flock and enjoy it!’. On paper this sounded great. Unfortunately, with people arrived noise, odor and litter…

As a GNU/Linux user I am a proponent of the ‘tried and tested’. I like simple setups with a minimal number of components and services that are mandatory for my PC to achieve the intended functionalities. I loath stacks of UIs/APIs and infinite towers of front-ends. Understandably, there is a need to separate the user from the hardware to prevent inadvertent damage. However, going several levels deep is a choice, not an obligation.

As many know and most should know, Linux is merely the kernel. The components that sit on top of it are interchangeable and as a whole, the GNU/Linux operating system can be built in various ways. There are several init architectures, including the legacy upstart, sysVinit, systemd, epoch and openRC. Same goes for the bootloader – LILO (now defunct), GRUB2, syslinux, etc. Why then do we only hear of systemd nowadays?

In short, it’s a lobby/agenda of companies that financially support GNU/Linux development. Systemd was spawned by Red Hat as an alternative to the old and ugly Unix ways of the past, which in their opinion are old and ugly, because they require more effort to maintain. Dubious logic, followed by dubious assurance of increased performance and simplified maintenance. Per reference, shell-based init scripts are so simple to write that even a high-schooler would easily be able to handle them.

However, for the resort builders it doesn’t matter. They see opportunity, invest and make profit. Freedom is a financially unsustainable luxury they have no need for. They want a new beach where they can sell their ice cream and pop. This money-driven cancer infests the whole GNU/Linux ecosystem and finds no satiation. The biggest problem is that it kills GNU/Linux’s modularity, the biggest selling point! If desktop environments start to depend on service management utilities, we have a problem…

Fortunately, there are ways and means I have been exploring recently. For instance, one doesn’t need the Gnome Network Manager for wireless network management, as wpa_supplicant’s GTK-based GUI does it perfectly well. In addition, there are GNU/Linux distributions that still appreciate the Unix ways, like Void Linux, CRUX and Gentoo Linux. We can and definitely should make GNU/Linux great again. The place of freedom and tranquility it used to be.

Per my contribution I decided to thoroughly explore CRUX and see how well one can build a GNU/Linux distribution on top of it.

A bunch of things to change to make Ubuntu work the way I like

Some things are easy to script but others seem to break things, so I keep this file around as a reference and add to it as I go.

Add this line to the end of /etc/sudoers (replace «$USER» with «your_user_name»)

Get everything up to date and make sure security fixes get done automatically

sudo apt install unattended-upgrades

sudo dpkg-reconfigure —priority=low unattended-upgrades

Uncomment the updates line in below if you want updates to be automatic too

sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

Make a strong key for SSHing

sudo apt install numlockx -y

sudo snap install —classic code

sudo snap install insomnia

sudo snap install gitkraken —classic

sudo apt install dconf-editor For editing org.gnome settings (search «Animation» and disable those settings/reduce time to 0 to make everything smoother»)

/org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/ allows you to change from switching applications to switching windows with alt-tab (disables alt-tab grouping)

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-arc-menu Smoother than the gnome activities menu and more Windowsy

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-panel Merge task bar and top bar

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-pixelsaver Merge title bar and menu bar in windows (saves vertical space!)

Add this function to .bashrc You can set terminal titles with ‘set-title whatever’

Add this to .bashrc whilst you are there.

bind ‘set completion-ignore-case on’

echo «bind ‘set completion-ignore-case on'» >> ~/.bashrc

from the terminal. This will ignore case sensitivity on autocompltes, so «cd downloads» can autocomplte to «cd Downloads»

xRDP sessions don’t have the same permissions as local sessions, the polkit manager will ask for passwords to create colour profiles and change repositories

Create a new file called 45-allow-colord.pkla with the following content
