An automated script to set-up Ubuntu as it should be. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04, 23.04, 24.04 and 25.04.
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 MoreWaita icon theme 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.
I wonder if updates between Ubuntu versions break with all these changes.
Seriously, what a PITA it would be to do this every 6 months (assuming you don’t use a LTS). I looked at this script and just decided to go with Debian.
