GitHub Repo that Linus was talking about in the Linux Video

[admkhalid]

In the "10 Ways Linux is just better!" Linus talks about Anthony running into a guy at System76 who had a GitHub repo with a script which could install all the software you would need and download your user profile after installation. I couldn't find the link to it in the description, or the comments. Could any of you kindly link the repo in the comments?

 

Thanks

I believe that was a personal repo that he was talking about. Many people have a dotfiles repo for such configs. You can easily see tons of those on github.

All the software and configuration that one specific person or group would ever need. Not necessarily you.

These scripts can also remove things and configure a system in such a way that it expects certain hardware to exist.

These are personal setup / install scripts, Generally setup by more experienced people.

It would be a fairly bad idea to download a random script to setup your Environment, especially if you don't understand what it does.

Hey so I was confused for a bit too.  It is a bash script here is an example for fedora there is no easy way to just drag and drop what you want. It does require a higher level of technical skill.  Maybe find someone on here or on fiverr that can help you put together your own.

No it was for software he needs as well as his user profile.

I found a website called lilite (ninite for linux).  It isn't perfect for me, it didn't have everything that I wanted so I forked it and created a version for myself that uses docker so I can run it in my personal k8s cluster and use it to install all of the apps I need
