Mint-after-install

Last updated on 2022-08-07 • Tagged under #mint #linux #python #programming

I've setup a few Linux Mint installs for family and friends and I really like it! Especially the Cinnamon desktop release. Sensible defaults, easy to customize, and intuitive to use for new and old Linux users alike.

To help with setup I created a config script: mint_after_install.py. It is ideally run after the first successful boot into the latest Linux Mint 21 "Vanessa" release.

Tasks

Upgrade system
Install extra packages
Use zram for swap
Sudo without password for <username>
Create ~/.ssh for <username>

How does it work?

sudo apt update; sudo apt install git
git clone https://gitlab.com/dwarmstrong/mint-after-install.git
cd mint-after-install
sudo ./mint_after_install.py <username>
