Fresh Install

This is a collection of scripts and dotfiles I use when setting up a fresh Linux installation.

Quick Start

Run the main setup script to install software, configure development tools, and symlink dotfiles:

./main-setup.sh

The script will automatically detect your Linux distribution (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) and use the appropriate package manager.

What Gets Installed

Core Packages

  • Development tools: git, gh, curl, wget, ripgrep, fd-find
  • System utilities: btop, fastfetch, zsh, flatpak
  • Virtualization: virt-manager
  • Python: python3, python3-pip

Development Environment

  • Neovim (latest version from GitHub)
  • Hack Nerd Font for terminal
  • Oh My Zsh shell framework
  • Starship prompt
  • Rust toolchain via rustup

Fedora-Specific (.NET Development)

On Fedora systems, additional packages are installed:

  • Visual Studio Code
  • .NET SDK (with Microsoft repository)
  • PostgreSQL server and tools
  • Docker (moby-engine) with Docker Compose

Flatpak Applications

  • Bitwarden
  • Flatseal
  • Steam
  • ProtonUp-Qt
  • Rider
  • Veloren Airshipper
  • Visual Studio Code
  • VLC Media Player

Modular Architecture

The setup is broken down into focused scripts:

  • 00-system-prep.sh - System updates and Flathub setup
  • 01-package-install.sh - Core packages and Flatpak apps
  • 02-dev-tools-setup.sh - Development tools (Neovim, fonts, shell)
  • 03-fedora-dotnet-setup.sh - Fedora-specific .NET environment
  • 04-config-symlinks.sh - Dotfile symlinking

You can run individual scripts if you only need specific components.

Dotfiles

The following configuration files will be symlinked to your home directory:

  • .vimrc & .vim/ - Vim/Neovim configuration
  • .zshrc & .zsh/ - Zsh shell configuration
  • .gitconfig - Git configuration (edit with your credentials)
  • .gitignore - Global Git ignore patterns
  • .agignore - Silver Searcher ignore patterns
  • .aliases - Shell aliases (from aliases.zsh)
  • .gitmessage - Git commit template (from commit-conventions.txt)

Git Configuration

Important: Edit gitconfig and replace my credentials with yours before running the setup.

Vim/Neovim Setup

I use Neovim with vim-plug for plugin management. If you're using regular Vim, you may need to:

  1. Remove Neovim-specific plugins from .vimrc
  2. Run :PlugClean to remove plugin directories
  3. Run :PlugInstall to reinstall compatible plugins

Post-Installation Tasks

After running the setup, remember to:

  1. Configure Git with your details:

    git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"

  2. Generate SSH key:

    ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C ${USER}@$(hostname --fqdn)

  3. Install Powerlevel10k gitstatus (if using):

    ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel10k/gitstatus/install -f

  4. Log out and back in for Docker group changes to take effect (Fedora)

  5. Install VS Code extensions (Fedora):

    • C# Dev Kit
    • GitLens
    • Prettier
    • NuGet Package Manager GUI

Supported Distributions

  • Fedora (with full .NET development environment)
  • Ubuntu/Debian (core packages and development tools)
  • Pop!_OS (core packages and development tools)

Customization

Feel free to fork this repository and modify the scripts/dotfiles to suit your needs. The modular structure makes it easy to add, remove, or modify specific components.

Legacy

The original monolithic post_install.sh script has been archived in .archive/ for reference.
