![]() Now that we have a partition ready for our custom Ubuntu install, one final thing we need is the magic key that’ll let us change the boot order of our computer. There are tons of videos and tutorials of GParted available on the internet that will help you get started with partitioning using GParted. It’s super easy to use and is available for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X. If you are not familiar with disk partitioning, I’d advise you to create one with the help of GParted. We’ll need a partition to install our Ubuntu. There are many tools out there to do this but if you are unsure I’d recommend balenaEtcher. Now we need to create a boot-able USB drive from the mini ISO we have just downloaded. First thing we’ll need is the mini ISO of the latest Ubuntu LTS aka Focal Fossa. So ready to go? Great, let’s get started then. Even a relatively inexperienced guy can do it and have a full custom desktop system up & running in an hour at max. You get the point? Preparation:īelieve you me it’s not that difficult. It is highly possible that while uninstalling unwanted applications, automatic dependency resolution will end-up removing whole bunch of required things leaving your system in a broken and unusable state. It is only possible in some cases and can be dangerous too. You might argue that one can install the default Ubuntu and remove unwanted applications later-on. If you are a programmer, chances are that you are never gonna use the text-editor that came with the default system install. Another good example will be browser, some prefer Chrome over Firefox and some are die hard fans of Vivaldi. For example you might prefer to play video files via mpv and not VLC. And we all have our personal preferences to handle certain tasks with certain applications. There are a zillion flavors of Ubuntu available out there but almost all of them contain things and applications that you don’t use & won’t ever need, bloat in short.
