Unity Ubuntu Bionic post install

unity-post-install.sh

#!/bin/bash

# I recommend you first install ubuntu-unity-desktop, do not clean off apt cache, then sudo apt autoremove --purge "gnome*"
# then install again ubuntu-unity-desktop without rebooting once and with a network connection. This gets rid of Gnome 
# entirely except for what unity needs to function

# Run this if the background image on the login greeter for your user doesn't change as you change desktop backgrounds
gsettings org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background active true

# This will install a patched version of nemo without cinnamon deps, then make it the default
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/bionic-noprop
sudo apt install nemo
xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search

# You should be good to restart now

# If after installing nemo you cannot right-click on the desktop, add `nemo-desktop` to your session start via the startup
# applications config application. Obv you need to install nemo as above.
