After you have followed this steps you can start with the installation of Ubuntu.
You need to create a bootable USB stick. For that I use balenaEtcher.
Now you can boot from the USB stick and install Ubuntu.
I choose the following settings:
- Minimal installation
- Download updates while installing Ubuntu
- Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats
- Erase disk and install Ubuntu (with disk encryption)
After the installation you have to reboot your machine and log in with your user.
Wait a moment till the system is ready.
- Don't send anonymous system usage data to Canonical
- Don't use location services
- Install the updates the upcoming dialog asks you for
- Reboot your machine
Open a terminal, then...
Turn off sending system information to Canonical:
ubuntu-report -f send no
Turn off package popularity contest:
sudo apt remove popularity-contest
Turn off automatic bug reporting:
Settings > Privacy > Problem Reporting > Off
Reboot your machine from terminal:
reboot
For the rest of the installation process I use my Ansible Playbook.
