This page is the list of "today I learned" things that I learned while setting up a desktop Ubuntu 18.04 server.

Gnome

  • Gnome is highly configurable, but the GUI gives zero control over those settings.
  • Gnome themes are just files living in /usr/share/themes</ode>
  • More themes available online

Networking

  • Debian (Raspberry Pi, Kali) comes with dhcpcd baked in
  • Ubuntu comes with dhclient baked in
  • Difference between dhcpcd and dhclient? dhclient is older, provided by ISC, serves as a reference; dhcpcd is newer and more lightweight
  • Network manager is a surprisingly difficult service to stop
  • Ubuntu 18.04 server runs a stub dns server - resolv.conf, and the systemd-ressolved service - and it is extremely confusing because turning it off can disable the internet. So don't just go around deleting stuff!
