Setup for new linux machine

Linux Bootstrap by @marcusoftnet

This repository is my take on setting up a new Linux machine from scratch. I have tweaked it from https://github.com/joshukraine/linux-bootstrap

This bootstrap script will install my dotfiles from here https://github.com/marcusoftnet/linux-dotfiles

Installation

To install with a one-liner, run this:

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcusoftnet/linux-bootstrap/main/bootstrap) 2>&1 | tee ~/bootstrap.log

Want to read through the script first?

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcusoftnet/linux-bootstrap/main/bootstrap > bootstrap
less bootstrap
bash bootstrap 2>&1 | tee ~/bootstrap.log

What does it do?

When you invoke bootstrap, this is what it does in a nutshell:

• Patch the system
• Install various software packages (see bootstrap script for details)
• Install oh-my-zsh.
• Install my Linux dotfiles and settings
• Symlink dotfiles to $HOME
• Install several fixed-width fonts.
  • Including Fira-Code that is my personal favorite
• Installs other software
  • Install Vundle and plugins for vim.
  • VS Code
  • IntelliJ
  • Docker
  • Microsoft Teams
