📚️ Linux Scripts

This repository contains my installation and setup scripts for various Linux distributions.

ⓘ All scripts must be run as root.

🌐 Fedora Workstation

fedora_ws_base.sh

• This script automates various maintenance tasks required after a fresh installation,
  such as installing non-free drivers and codecs.

  curl -o ~/fedora_ws_base.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FaridZelli/LinuxScripts/main/fedora_ws_base.sh && chmod a+x ~/fedora_ws_base.sh && ~/fedora_ws_base.sh ; rm -f ~/fedora_ws_base.sh
  

🦎 openSUSE Tumbleweed

tumbleweed_base.sh

• This script automates various maintenance tasks required after a fresh installation,
  such as installing non-free drivers and codecs.

• Also includes zypper-unjammed and sets up an alias for zypper-autoremove.

  curl -o ~/tumbleweed_base.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FaridZelli/LinuxScripts/main/tumbleweed_base.sh && chmod a+x ~/tumbleweed_base.sh && ~/tumbleweed_base.sh ; rm -f ~/tumbleweed_base.sh
  

💡 Tips & Tricks

Useful information and suggestions that may improve your workflow.

Personalize Bash

• Enable menu-complete:
  Make your terminal more efficient by enabling directory completion

grep -qF 'TAB: menu-complete' ~/.inputrc || echo 'TAB: menu-complete' >> ~/.inputrc

• Disable HISTFILE:
  If you prefer not to save your command history

grep -qF 'unset HISTFILE' ~/.bashrc || echo 'unset HISTFILE' >> ~/.bashrc

• Customize your prompt (linrock/bash-prompt-generator)

echo 'export PS1="\[$(tput setaf 216)\]\u\[$(tput setaf 220)\]@\[$(tput setaf 222)\]\h \[$(tput setaf 229)\]\w \[$(tput sgr0)\]$ "' >> ~/.bashrc

About Browsers

There are usability advantages to installing web browsers via Flatpak.
I strongly recommend Firefox for daily use:

flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox

Flatpaks and AppImages

Suggested tools:

• Flatseal - Flatpak permission manager
• Gear Lever - AppImage helper
