ubuntu bootstrapped with all the goto apps and a pleasing look
Table of Contents
THIS PROJECT WAS DONE SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SAVING SOME TIME SO THAT I CAN SLEEP FOR SOME EXTRA HOURS 😄
As mentioned it's not a distro built from scratch but an ubuntu image bundled with all the softwares necessary for any programmer (like vscode, chrome, node) excluding all the unnecessary prebuilt ubuntu apps . But the question is why did I make this distro?
Here's why:
- I'm the type of person, if I get comfortable with a certain UI, a slight change in it makes me anxious.
- I like to tickle with the ubuntu, and more often I mess up the UI to the extent that it's irreversible.
- So, I've to boot a fresh ubuntu loosing all my apps and customizations. And it takes me hours to get that UI again.
- Therefore, I recreated the UI I'm comfortable to in the ubuntu iso image (don't ask how much of a hectic process that was), so that I can just boot up the iso to get all of my apps and customizations.
There were some backup apps (like timeshift) but sometimes they also messed the core files of ubuntu.
Apps that are built in devOS are:
- VS Code
- Google Chrome
- Fifefox (excluded in Minimal Version)
- NodeJS
- GNOME Extensions and Tweaks
- Android Studio (excluded in Minimal Version)
- Docker
- TimeShift (backup tool)
- VLC
- Spotify (excluded in Minimal Version)
- Slack (excluded in Minimal Version)
- Vim
- CMatrix (good old Matrix vibes)
- Neofetch
This gorgeous look is made possible by following themes:
- GTK Theme: Orchis Theme
- Icon Theme: Colloid Theme
- GNOME Shell Theme: Orchis Theme
- Desktop & Login Wallpaper: Dracula Theme
- Plymouth Theme: Vortex Ubuntu
Prior linux experience required.
Installation is pretty easy. Just burn this iso into any USB and boot it like any other OS.
