An automated script to set-up Ubuntu as it should be. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04, 23.04, 24.04 and 25.04.
- Removes snaps completely
- Installs a vanilla gnome session
- Sets up flathub and gnome-software with the flatpak plugin
- Installs gnome-tweaks
- Installs Extension Manager
- Disables the Ubuntu theming
- Enables the libadwaita theme in gtk3 apps using adw-gtk3.
- Installs the MoreWaita icon theme for extended icon support.
- Enables Gnome integration with QT apps
- Installs Firefox from the Mozilla Repository
- Disables the data reporting component
- Disables the annoying crash popup
- Removes terminal ads
TL;DR, you will end up with a clean GNOME desktop with flatpaks, similar to a fresh Fedora install.
I recommend a minimal install of Ubuntu to run this.
You can download the script from the repo or use this oneliner command, there are no dependencies required.
sudo bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/polkaulfield/ubuntu-debullshit/main/ubuntu-debullshit.sh)"
After the install, reboot and enjoy a clean experience :)
