Here are my 10 essential things to do after installing Debian Testing (Stretch) Xfce:
1. Set up SUDO and install SYNAPTIC
sudo apt install sudo gksu synaptic apt-xapian-index policykit-1-gnome
sudo adduser yourusername sudo
2. Install WHISKER menu
sudo apt install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin
3. Configure NON-FREE repositories
sudo sed -i ‘s/main/main contrib non-free/g’ /etc/apt/sources.list
4. Install key applications and packages.
sudo apt install build-essential debian-keyring mousepad network-manager network-manager-gnome p7zip unzip policykit-1-gnome p7zip-full aspell aspell-en hunspell hunspell-en-us mythes-en-us ristretto rsync thunar-archive-plugin fonts-dejavu fonts-dejavu-extra fonts-droid-fallback fonts-freefont-ttf fonts-liberation fonts-noto-mono fonts-opensymbol libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra ttf-freefont ttf-liberation ttf-mscorefonts-installer ufw vlc xarchiver xfce4-clipman xfce4-panel-dev xfce4-power-manager xfce4-screenshooter xfce4-taskmanager xfce4-terminal xfce4-xkb-plugin xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
5. Configure DRIVERS
Search for microcode in synaptic and select either amd64-microcode or intel-microcode, depending on what CPU model you have.
6. Configure FIREWALL
sudo ufw status
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw status verbose
7. Speed up BOOT TIME
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and set GRUB_TIMEOUT=0.
sudo update-grub
8. Configure lightDM
sudo nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_my.conf
and place the following into this file:
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-hide-users=false
9. Tweak some SETTINGS: window manager, window buttons, window placement, mouse actions, xkill, auto-start.
10. Remove unneeded application and CLEAN the SYSTEM.
sudo apt autoremove xterm mutt
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt clean
