This is an attempt to outline a process of building a complete working setup on a machine after installing a fresh operating system. Now this won’t be exactly the same for all because we work on different things and our preferences are often not the same for completing the same task. For example, I will most be concerned about the setting up gnome desktop, but the outline should be similar for someone who wants to use, say, kde desktop. I use emacs for many of my daily task but others may prefer something else. However, the overall outline should work for anyone.

Okay, so before we actually start installing our favourite tools, the very first thing would be to fire up your terminal and just get the latest updates so that your os is up to date. This is easy.

• sudo apt update on ubuntu will fetch all updates and sudo apt upgrade will then update these upgradable packages.
• For most os, one can also go to the software center where you can easily check for updates. In fact most os would ping you that updates are available and you will be able to get those updates to your os and other packages by just pressing the install button.

• ssh-keygen would generate a pair of ssh key for adding to remote server or git repos.
• copy the public key for ~~/.ssh/*.pub~ and add it to your git repo.

• Install gnome-tweaks using
  • sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
  • sudo dnf install gnome-tweaks
• Open tweaks and set background, theme, fonts, windows etc.

• Ubuntu: Available in the software center
• Fedora: Download from the slack website and open with software center.

• Ubuntu: Available in the software center.
• Fedora: Download from this link https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/releases/tag/v4.7.2 and open with software center.

• Ubuntu: Available in the software center.
• Fedora:
  • Download from this link https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/
  • Run it with bash bash TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.5.6.run
  • cd TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/
  • ./ts3client_runscript.sh to launch teamspeak3.

Open tweaks and add slack, mattermost etc using the startup applications menu.

In my case, this happens to be OpenBangla

Instructions are here.

• Install fish: dnf install fish
• Make fish your default shell: Follow the documentation sudo chsh -s /usr/bin/fish

• Clone the rbenv repo: git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv/
• Add to fish shell: echo 'status --is-interactive; and ~/.rbenv/bin/rbenv init - fish | source' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
• Install ruby-build: git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build
• Find latest stable ruby version: rbenv install -l
• Install a ruby version: rbenv install 3.2.2
