I want to share with you an Ubuntu setup which I carefully built for myself. As a developer, I want my system not only to has all neccessary tools but to look nice. I hope you to enjoy my build!
Feel free to ask me using email.
P.S. I'm still working on this and I haven't added everything that I want atm. Thank you for understanding ๐

- ๐ ๏ธ My Ubuntu setup for development
I copied almost everything from ArcTechnologies (YouTube). I recommend to check their channel and video of setting up a Nord theme for GNOME Desktop.
Wallpaper is taken from nordthemewallpapers.com:

Go to Settings -> Advanced -> System integration -> Use system window frame

I spent lots of time setting up my audio environment on Ubuntu and it's a pure hell for a person who's not familiar with Linux.
- Download
pavucontrol:
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install pavucontrol
- Go to
Configurationtab and disable all unused micro by clickingOffin dropdown menu. - Switch all your discrete microphones profiles from
DuplexintoInput(microphone is not an output device). - Switch all your discrete headphones profiles from
DuplexintoOutput.
If you have headset with mic leave Duplex as it is.
I use AKG Lyra & default stereo headphones preset (the command below is added into Startup Applications):
$ pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo && pactl set-default-source alsa_input.usb-AKG_C44-USB_Microphone_AKG_C44-USB_Microphone-00.analog-stereo
To list your input and output devices use pactl list short sinks and pactl list short sources
In Linux, use:
$ timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
- Copy a screenshort of an area to clipboard:
Shift+Super+S - Home folder:

To use blur or any other webcam background at work.

Don't forget to bind it to Ctrl + ; (Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> View and Customize Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts -> Click + and add command emote to shortcut just like on screenshot below).
