How to Make Fedora Look Like Ubuntu

 


Ubuntu is known for its theming and Unity-esque appearance.  Fedora's theme has improved over the years, but I still largely prefer the appearance of Ubuntu.  It has a certain Mac like modern look to it and the Ubuntu font is among the best available. 

To make Fedora look like Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:

Open a terminal and run:
sudo dnf install gnome-shell-yaru

Enable the Yaru theme in GnomeTweaks. Install Tweaks first if needed.
sudo dnf install gnome-tweaks


Go to the "Appearance" tab and select the Yaru theme for the Shell, Icons, and Cursor.

Install Gogh for Terminal Theme

Install Gogh from GitHub:
sh git clone https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh.git cd Gogh ./install.sh

Select the "Clone of Ubuntu" profile for your terminal:
gogh clone ubuntu

Apply the theme:
gogh apply ubuntu

Install Ubuntu Fonts:

Download the Ubuntu font family from Google Fonts.

Copy the font files to the fonts directory:
sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/ubuntu-font-family-*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/ sudo fc-cache -f -v

Use Gnome Tweaks to change the default fonts. Go to the "Fonts" tab and set the Interface, Document, and Titlebar fonts to Ubuntu.

Optional: Install Extensions:

You can install extensions like "Dash to Panel" and "Arc Menu" to further customize the look and feel of your desktop.

Drolet HT-2000 Extra Large Wood Stove

Drolet HT-2000 Since our old Blaze King bit the dust, we replaced it with the Drolet HT-2000.  It was a special order from Menards for $1099.  Wait and watch carefully, you can grab it with the 11% rebate.  Its free shipping to the store.  Otherwise, you're looking at a couple hundred in shipping fees to your home.  I also ordered the blower for $100.  Drolet will send a 25% off coupon after registering the warranty so it might be worthwhile waiting to order the blower.

Avoiding Vendor Lock In

Black Friday (read: Month) brought about all kinds of ridiculously cheap MacBook deals.  These were the Arm  Apple Silicon models with the formidable M1 and M2 chips.  $600 for the M1 at Walmart was tempting.  So very tempting.   Let's back up.  I'm a long time Android user.  After Palm's failed attempt to enter a renewed smartphone market, I switched to a Moto Droid 2 Global (Walmart still sells a dummy version for unknown reasons).  Looking back, that phone was terrible yet it started a nearly 15 year stretch of Android phones.   I had one brief encounter with iPhone.  My ex-wife was a big fan while I stayed on Android.  I ended up with an iPhone 7 in rose gold.  What a color.  I gave Apple a real shot.  I swapped the SIM from the OG Pixel Really Blue into the iPhone 7 for a month.  A very long month.  There were a few things I enjoyed on it.  Apple had more apps at the time.  Most ap...
