Pop!_OS Setup

How to use

I'm assuming you have just installed Pop!_OS successfully.

1. Clone this repo, you can do a shallow clone if you wish (by adding --depth=1 to the following command).

   $ git clone https://github.com/nico-castell/PopOS-Setup.git

2. Given that the main branch is always under development, you might want to checkout the last tag, which will be the last known stable version.

   $ git checkout $(git describe --tags --abrev=0) # Go to the last tag
   $ git checkout main                             # Go back to main

3. (Optional) Look at the instuctions in thme gnome_apperance script, and configure the file structure for the script to set up the GNOME appearance with your themes.

   scripts
   └── themes
       ├── background
       │   └── image.png
       ├── cursor
       │   └── cursor.tar.gz
       ├── icons
       │   └── icons.tar.gz
       └── theme
           └── theme.tar.gz
   

4. (Optional) If you plan on building a minecraft server, you should check that the $download_link and $version variables are up to date, they're always market as TODO to be easy to find.
5. Run the popOS_setup.sh script.

   $ ./popOS_setup.sh

6. Follow the instructions from the script.
7. Wait, this script will as for further instructions as it goes about doing it's thing.

Keep in mind

• You must have an internet connection to run the script.
• If you choose to update the backup image, it will have to download an entire image of Pop!_OS. So it can take very long, depending on your internet connection.
• If you're using an older nvidia GPU not supported by the latest nvidia driver, it might be better to download the Pop!_OS ISO without their custom driver, and then choose the latest driver that supports your GPU from the list the script offers. (I'm talking from experience)

Biggest features

Known issues

1. duc_noip_install: The installer can't seem to understand symbols when typing a password, at least on my tests, the script opens gedit for you to copy/paste your password and work around the issue.
2. mc_server_builder: The link to download the latest version of the server must be manually updated for every minecraft release.
