ubuntu-debullshit!

An automated script to set-up Ubuntu as it should be. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 and 23.04

Features:

• Removes snaps completely
• Installs a vanilla gnome session
• Sets up flathub and gnome-software with the flatpak plugin
• Installs gnome-tweaks
• Installs Extension Manager
• Disables the Ubuntu theming
• Enables the libadwaita theme in gtk3 apps using adw-gtk3
• Installs the adwaita 46 icon theme and morewaita for extended icon support
• Enables gnome integration with QT apps
• Installs Firefox from the Mozilla Repository
• Disables the data reporting component
• Disables the annoying crash popup
• Removes terminal ads

TL;DR, you will end up with a clean GNOME desktop with flatpaks, similar to a fresh Fedora install.

Installation

I recommend a minimal install of Ubuntu 23.04 to run this.

You can download the script from the repo or use this oneliner command, there are no dependencies required.

sudo bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/polkaulfield/ubuntu-debullshit/main/ubuntu-debullshit.sh)"

After the install, reboot and enjoy a clean experience :)
