This is a set of things I suggest you do on a new Ubuntu machine to make it nice and (almost) Mac-like.

Install some packages

sudo apt install -y xclip
sudo apt install -y caffeine
sudo apt install -y gnome-tweaks

Install Google Chrome and VSCode.

Optionally, compile some software I made:

Put this in ~/.bashrc

alias pbcopy='xclip -sel clip'
alias pbpaste='xclip -sel clip -o'

Set some keystrokes

  • Copy screenshot of an area to clipboard: Ctrl+Alt+4
  • Copy screenshot of window to clipboard: Ctrl+Alt+5

Change other configuration

  • Set natural scrolling direction
