Must-Have Software and Tweaks After a Full Linux Reinstall

Reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04 more times than I can count these past few days @@

The first time was a newbie test run. Then, because Libreoffice was a bit laggy rendering documents sent over from windows, I went back and installed windows again, only to find it wasn't any better.
The second time, I regretted it the instant windows finished installing. So I reinstalled Ubuntu and found it was actually perfectly fine for daily use.
Then everything was healthy right up until I installed bumblebee. The moment it finished, the whole driver stack broke, so I had to reinstall in a hurry

Below I'll go through what I install and how I set it up, one by one

Bold means I personally consider it a must-install

(Prettify the terminal) zsh + oh my zsh (I followed this guide ↗)
(hime) 詞音 phonetic input method (a very detailed introduction and setup guide ↗), which makes my input method feel close to the one on windows
(Night mode) redshift script (the script I adapted from here ↗)
On at boot: numlock, which is super important if you use the keyboard a lot (a really handy article ↗)
gnome tweak for adjusting dpi and that kind of stuff, plus some themes
(Google Drive sync) rclone rclone browser; having a GUI makes it way more convenient
(Power management) tlp powertop, a godsend for saving battery
(coding) eclipse & android-studio Java, the two must-have tools for development. They're right there in the software center, super convenient. Add vscode on top and you've got a perfect score.
I have to say this: don't shoot yourself in the foot by installing bumblebee. It's convenient, but after removing it you get a ton of apt-get problems
Fixing the apt-get problems required force-removing things with dpkg, kind of a pain @@
/etc/fstab setup: the first time, it kept failing to boot. Pairing it with
ln -s works great
Switch the Ubuntu home folders to English directory names; Chinese ones are super weird

bash

export LANG=en_US 
xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update
