Welcome to this nifty Ubuntu System Setup Script! This script is your go-to tool for setting up and supercharging your Ubuntu system in a jiffy. It's all about making your system cooler, more secure, and tuned to your liking.

1. htop - Check out what's going on with your system processes in a flash.
2. screen - Split your terminal like a pro.
3. nload - Keep an eye on your network traffic.
4. nano - A simple and friendly text editor.
5. firewalld - Manage your firewall settings with ease:
   • Automatically opens your SSH port (with options for customization).
6. fail2ban - Ward off intruders with this handy tool:
   • Configure it with default settings or go custom.
7. git - The go-to tool for version control:
   • We'll help you set it up if it's your first time.
8. unattended-upgrades - Stay safe with automatic security updates.

• SSH Authentication:

  • Switch to key-based authentication for enhanced security (as requested in issue #1).
  • You can later revert to password authentication using option 6 in the menu: Restore SSH Configuration.
  • The script automatically creates a backup of your SSH configuration (sshd_config) before making changes, located at /etc/ssh/sshd_config_decoscript.backup.

• Passwordless Sudo Access:

  • Elevate your powers without the hassle of password prompts.
  • Don't worry; we won't mess with it if you're already in the passwordless sudo club.

• Want to host a website? We've got you covered with Nginx & PHP 8.1 (php-fpm).
• We'll even open up ports 80 and 443 TCP/UDP in the firewall (if you have firewalld installed).
• And if you're still hanging out with Apache2, we'll give it a polite send-off.

• Ready to explore the world of Node.js? We've got you covered with Node Version Manager (NVM).
• With NVM, you can:
  • Seamlessly switch between different Node.js versions.
  • Easily manage Node.js installations.
  • Keep your Node.js environment up-to-date with the latest releases.
