A few thoughts on 6.0

LOL it does probably take too long in Synaptic if you're used to the terminal anyway.

"Used to"?! I nearly hate it! That's why I wrote the above script! Do it once, use it many!

But Linux Lite is for people who are either not accustomed to the terminal or people like me who are scared to death of the dreaded ▄︻デȶɛʀʍɨռǟʟ═══━一.

I love that!
Being "accustomed" with the terminal NOW? Assuming that I was a network manager, OK, I give you that. But I'm a "home user". I never bothered even to test drive a home network!
...Well, I did it once, long time ago, when I bought Win 200 Pro. And this was that!
So, why bother now?
Theoretically, many things are available now, under (any) Linux. Still... Jerry says:
"If it works, why change?"
And I agree with that! (Am I a dinosaur? Maybe...)

I just "know" that mistyping a single character in a command can ignite the atmosphere and destroy all life on Earth. It's one of the reasons I use Linux Lite!

That's the main reason why I avoid it! There is a workaround though: an ASCII (.txt) file. Then Copy/Paste into terminal. But still...

It's funny, now. I didn't like it when Linux Lite shipped with added PPAs and I said so in this forum. Now here I am eating those words, recommending pre-installed PPAs for some apps. Mainly because I'm one of those anti-Google guys that despises Google Chrome and other Google features that I consider "spyware."

Well, you can change the script above, something like that:

Code:

echo "============================================================"
echo "Remove the ugly Chrome!"
echo "============================================================"
sudo apt remove google-chrome-stable
echo "============================================================"
echo "Ugly removed!"
echo "============================================================"

You can place the snippet at the beginning of the file, below the lines

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#

Something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
echo "============================================================"
echo "Remove the ugly Chrome!"
echo "============================================================"
sudo apt remove google-chrome-stable -y
echo "============================================================"
echo "Ugly removed!"
echo "============================================================"

Then, add the PPAs like shown above. And that's it! You're up and running.
Given the fact that you'll use the script only when performing a clean install (about two years frequency...), I guess it goes nice!

Best regards!
