Ubuntu 21.10 installation with a bunch of programs
Thiago Braga
Posted on April 22, 2022
Hi, guys. How are you?
In this post I'll share the script I've been writing down during my most recent installation of Ubuntu 21.10, so I can reuse it on another computer.
It's divided into the following sections:
- Initial tasks
- Install essential software
- Tasks to do after install
- Development
- Browsers
- Other softwares
Note: This script is constantly changing. Follow the Ubuntu 21.10 Installation gist for the most current version, in case the text below is out of date.
Initial tasks
Use sudo
without password
# TODO: Check if entry already exists in sudoers file
# It'll ask for password only once
echo "${USER} ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers
Update installed programs
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -yV
sudo apt autoremove -yV
sudo apt autoclean
Make Ubuntu use local time for hardware clock
It avoids conflicts with Windows clock in dual-boot setups.
