New Debian installation

Once in a while i switch from Windows to Linux (Debian mainly) and back again. Why? Mainly because I fucked my installation from Debian again and want the easy way out or the mess Windows has become has become anoying and i want to switch back to Linux.

But i alway forget a list of applications i default back to when i switch back to Debian, so here’s a list of stuff i install or configure (some applications i also use in windows) :

• Dash to Panel
• gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 (or what ever version you need, you need this for arcmenu)
• Extension manager
• arcmenu
• tilix
• Steam (from steampowered, not the debian package)
• Bambu Lab Studio
• Discord
• whatpulse
  • pcap https://github.com/whatpulse/linux-external-pcap-service
• Solaar
• AppimageLauncher https://assassinate-you.net//tags/appimagelauncher/
• AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (Yes that’s the complete name)
• git-all

Adding my account to sudoer list

• Start terminal
• Do “su -“
• “adduser username sudo” (replace username by my account)
• “chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers”
• “usermod -aG sudo username”
• “nano /etc/sudoers”
  • Beneath “root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL” add:
  • “username ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL”
• Now start a new terminal and you should be able to do “sudo what ever”

Adding Visual Studio Code

• Go to: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux
• Select the option at number 3, copy the line at number 1 and start a terminal window
• Paste the info you just copied and press enter. Because the line wants to add a GPG key signed by microsoft to your repository you have to enter your password to approve.
• Now enter the following command: “sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.sources” and enter the info under 3.2 and save the file (ctrl_+x – Y – Enter)
• And execute everything under step 3.3

After that Visual Studio Code is installed.
