# 🛠️ My Ubuntu setup for development
 
### Hello everyone! 👋
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](mailto:rusetscky@outlook.com)**.
P.S. I'm still working on this and I haven't added everything that I want atm. Thank you for understanding 🙏

## Theme
### Shell
I copied almost everything from **[ArcTechnologies](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtKKEqJIPCT9E6WMas7lC5Q)** (YouTube). I recommend to check their channel and video of setting up a Nord theme for GNOME Desktop.
Wallpaper is taken from **[nordthemewallpapers.com](https://nordthemewallpapers.com)**:
Install Colloid-dark-nord theme:
```bash
$ curl -LJO https://github.com/vinceliuice/Colloid-gtk-theme/archive/refs/heads/main.zip && unzip
Colloid-gtk-theme.zip && cd Colloid-gtk-theme && sh -c install.sh --tweaks nord
```
### Make other apps look native
#### Chrome
Go to `Settings` -> `Apperance` -> `Theme` and set it to `GTK+`
#### Telegram
Go to `Settings` -> `Advanced` -> `System integration` -> `Use system window frame`
## Tweaks and extensions
Install GNOME Tweaks:
```bash
$ sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
```

### Dock conf
In the file.
To copy settings into your config use:
```Bash
$ dconf load /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/ < dash-to-dock.conf
```
## Audio device setup
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.
1. Download `pavucontrol`:
```
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install pavucontrol
```
2. Go to `Configuration` tab and disable all unused micro by clicking `Off` in dropdown menu.
3. Switch all your discrete microphones profiles from `Duplex` into `Input` (microphone is not an output device).
4. Switch all your discrete headphones profiles from `Duplex` into `Output`.
**If you have headset with mic leave `Duplex` as it is.**
### Set default audio (optional)
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`
## Dual Boot Time Sync
In Linux, use:
```
$ timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
```
## Bluetooth Dual Boot Pairing
Link:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/255509/bluetooth-pairing-on-dual-boot-of-windows-linux-mint-ubuntu-stop-having-to-p
## Keyboard Shortcuts
- Copy a screenshort of an area to clipboard: `Shift` + `Super` +`S`
- Home folder: `Super` + `E`
- Launch terminal: `Super` + `T`
## Software
### [Virtual Webcam Background](https://github.com/fangfufu/Linux-Fake-Background-Webcam)
To use blur or any other webcam background at work.
### Terminal [Tabby](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby)
Amazing terminal!
1. Download latest release **[here](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby/releases)**.
2. Install `.deb` file.
```bash
$ sudo dpkg -i tabby-1.0.177-linux-x64.deb
```
3. Make Tabby a default terminal.
Add Tabby to terminals list.
```bash
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tabby 1
```
Change default terminal by choosing Tabby in the list by running this command:
```bash
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
```
#### Install `oh-my-zsh` and `p10k`
Install `oh-my-zsh`:
```bash
$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" && chsh -s $(which zsh)
```
Install `p10k`:
```bash
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k
```
Set `zsh` as default shell:
```
$ chsh -s $(which zsh)
```
Configure `p10k`:
```
$ p10k configure
```
## Development setup
Let's start with basic tools like `build-essential`:
```bash
$ sudo apt install build-essential
```
### Spacevim

```bash
$ curl -sLf https://spacevim.org/install.sh | bash

## Other tools
### Emotes
I miss `Ctrl` + `;` emote picker from Windows a lot so I decided to search for an Ubuntu analog and found `emote`! It's great! Let's install it using snap!
```bash
$ sudo snap install emote
```
It looks like this:
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).
