Small Linux Installs

Description:

I plan to use this page as a reference for small programs I like to install on my distro’s for everyday use or just to mess around with. For now, my copy paste is:

   sudo dnf install nmap bleachbit p7zip vlc

To Resolve:

1. Install specific programs

   # Network scanner
   sudo dnf install nmap 
   
   # Cleaner
   sudo dnf install bleachbit 
   
   # I like to run it once via GUI and then you can run the following from the terminal
   bleachbit -c --preset
   
   #As with almost any command, type bleachbit -h or --help to get a list of full options.
   
   # 7zip
   sudo dnf install p7zip
   
   # Media player
   sudo dnf install vlc
   
   # Play games
   sudo dnf install steam
   
   # Virtualize
   sudo dnf install VirtualBox
   
   # Good for customizing your GRUB menu at boot
   sudo dnf install grub-customizer
   

2. Next, to move from MediaMonkey on Windows, we install an application called Clementine

   • Install media codecs (Fedora in this case)

   sudo dnf install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-base-tools gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1
   

   • Install Clementine:

   sudo dnf install clementine
   

   • Audio was too quiet. I had all the volumes up on max and it was still quiet. To Fix, open a terminal and type: alsamixer
     • Type: F6
     • Choose your device and press up. It was set to 20% for some reason.
     • Some songs still wouldn’t play, you may have to install “gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3” and “gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good”

3. To install Windows applications, install a program called “WINE” to emulate Windows. I will probably post more on this at a later date.

4. Install other DE’s (desktop environments)

   sudo dnf install @mate-desktop
   sudo dnf install @xfce-desktop
   sudo dnf install @lxde-desktop
   sudo dnf install @cinnamon-desktop
