Kubuntu Desktop System¶

This is a short overview what I installed and configured on my new laptop (2022). And with which I am working since then.

OS Installation¶

To install I had to disable UEFI and switch the BIOS into legacy mode. After that booting with a bootable USB stick (used etcher to create it) I could start the installation. I installed Kubuntu 20.4.4 LTE.

Sudo without password¶

Add a new file for user allowance:

alex ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

KDE Configuration¶

• Global design -> select "Breeze Dark"
• Regional Settings -> add german language
• Input devices > Touchpad -> enable tap to click and three finger middle click

Chrome¶

As chrome is not in the default repository best way is to use the google repository:

wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install chrome
