MintyFresh: My configuration script for Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 6)
I've setup a few installs of Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) for family, friends, and myself. I really like it! Mint's Cinnamon desktop comes with sensible defaults, is easy to customize, and intuitive to use for new and old Linux users alike.
MintyFresh (source) is a bash script to configure a device after a fresh install of LMDE 6 aka "Faye".
Run mintyfresh.sh -h for options.
Summary
- Upgrade system
- Install extra packages
- Auto-remove obsolete kernels and dependencies
- Enable zram for swap
- Customize GRUB bootloader
How does it work?
Sync package repositories and install git:
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install git
Download:
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/dwarmstrong/mintyfresh.git
Change directory and run script with your primary username as the sole argument:
$ cd mintyfresh
$ sudo ./mintyfresh.sh <your_primary_username>
