tl;dr: I maintain a post-install script for general-purpose desktop Linux distributions. The goal of the script is to automatically configure a freshly installed Linux system for the average newcomer. Here it is.
It has the following core goals: - One-stop-script to configure a freshly installed Linux system. - Should be run just once right after a fresh install, but won't break anything if ran a thousand times. - The configuration is targeted towards non-technical users and Linux beginners (the typical target demographic is someone attending an install party). - As little manual intervention as possible, everything that can be automated will be automated. - If it can't be automated, the program needing to be configured will open itself, a notification will tell you what to do, and the script will proceed after the program is closed. - Targets the latest (LTS, if applicable) release of a given distro. Older and newer releases should work, but there is no guarantee. - Every change done to the default distribution configuration is meant to improve user-friendliness, and does not include purely personal preferences. - Accounts for localisation. - Everything in the script must be clearly commented so one can know what the script does before running it. - Circumvents bugs in the distributions/desktop environments.
