Linux Mint Post-Install scripts

Post-install script for Linux Mint and Debian/Ubuntu based distro. My recommendation for both home and education usage replacing Windows

Looks for Windows version?

• Adding App Shortcut to Desktop for easy access (Linux Mint only)
• Enable Firewall (Block incoming connection by default)
• Enable zram with zstd compression
• Setup DNS over TLS with systemd-resolved, using Cloudflare and ControlD Unfiltered

Pre-Installed Apps

• Google Chrome
• OnlyOffice as Microsoft Office replacement, but you can still access Office Online or Google Workspaces via web browser
• VLC Media Player
• Spotify Linux Client
• GNOME Cheese/Kamoso (Camera App)
• GNOME Clocks/KClock (Clock App)
• Microsoft Corefonts (with ttf-mscorefonts-installer packages)

Enable swap manually if not enabled by default (4GB is default size)

  sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile1 && sudo chmod 600 /swapfile1 && sudo mkswap /swapfile1 && sudo swapon /swapfile1 && echo '/swapfile1 none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

For btrfs user (e.g fedora and opensuse) use this command to enable swap

  sudo touch /swapfile1 && sudo chattr +C /swapfile1 && sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1M count=4096 status=progress && sudo chmod 600 /swapfile1 && sudo mkswap /swapfile1 && sudo swapon /swapfile1 && echo '/swapfile1 none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

VMware Tools

If you installing on VMware, use this command to install the drivers

  sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop -y
