Make Ubuntu/Linux Mint looks like Windows 8

Perhaps one of the best things in Linux is a high susceptibility to customize the system and make it anything you want.

You can now make Ubuntu or Linux Mint looks like Windows 8 easily, just follow these simple steps.

Run these commands, one by one :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/icons
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install win-themes
sudo apt-get install win-icons

We can now change theme to win-theme and icons to win-icons using one of these tools : Ubuntu Tweak, gnome-tweak-tool, Unity Tweak Tool ...

Enjoy !

Aptik, a great tool to restore your Favourite Apps, PPAs, Themes ... to your Ubuntu fresh install

Aptik, a great tool to restore your Favourite Apps, PPAs, Themes ... to your Ubuntu fresh install

Every time when I do a fresh install of Ubuntu or Mint, I install again my favourite apps, themes ...
It seems to be hard to reinstall applications, to re-add PPAs and to re-find themes and icon packs is akin to a ‘necessary chore'.

But there is a tool that can help simplify the entire process. It is called Aptik.
The app simply lets you create a Back up of your PPAs,Themes and icons, APT Cache, and your Favourites Software. So that can be easy  to restore again after a fresh install.

To install it run the following commands :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install aptik

Enjoy !
