Today we are looking at how to factory reset Ubuntu 18.04 with Resetter. This is an excellent app that gets updated the whole time, so when you see this post it might have an updated version but the installation and usage process would be similar.
I realized that after I run the process it removed all the apps of my system as well including LibreOffice but it left Firefox and the Software Center so you are able to install all the exact app you actually need. But just keep it in mind.
After running this app it will also remove all your data and user accounts and create a user account. It can be expected as it is a factory reset of course. The new user account will be Default/NewLife3!
They also support Elementary OS 5.0, Deepin OS 15.8. Debian Gnome 9.6, Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3 19 19.1, Linux Mint 18.3 Mate and Ubuntu 16.04 18.04 18.10.
If you run into any bugs or issues, please write the developer, he is quick to reply and friendly. His info is at the bottom of the GitHub page.
I was told and I also tried it out, a person can just install the deb package with the build-in software center and then you do not have to touch the terminal. Enjoy!
Command Used:
sudo dpkg -i package_name
sudo apt -f install
