Fedora Setup Script

Work in progress. Since I sometimes like to distro hop but usually come back to Fedora for my ready-to-go productive environment, I made this script to quickly rebuild the essentials of my setup after a fresh install. It should be easy to extend and adapt to your own preferences.

Usage

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/lalogiquefloue/fedora-initial-setup.git
cd fedora-initial-setup

2. Make the script executable

chmod +x fedora_setup.sh

3. Run as root

sudo ./fedora_setup.sh
