  1. Install common desktop software

    Install as much as possible from the default apt repo because that's the simplest for both installation and updating. sudo apt install -y abcde acpi bsdgames cabextract culmus dia docbook-xsl exfat-fuse eyed3 ffmpeg fonts-anonymous-pro fonts-liberation fonts-lyx fonts-mplus fonts-sil-gentium geeqie gimp gnucash gnumeric golang inkscape kubuntu-restricted-addons kubuntu-restricted-extras ledger libdbd-pgsql libdbi-dev libdbi1 libsox-fmt-mp3 libtool lm-sensors mercurial mpv mpv-mpris nmap normalize-audio okular open-vm-tools password-gorilla passwordsafe pavucontrol postgresql print-manager pulseaudio-utils python3-dev qtchooser rust-all scdoc scribus scribus-doc simple-scanner ssh-askpass-fullscreen texlive-binaries wev ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-mscorefonts-installer ttf-xfree86-nonfree ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc libxkbcommon-tools xsltproc
