I have ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed on my HP Compaq 6005 SFF and I want to have a way to where I can upgrade my computer easily to newer versions and as well create a command list file to execute in any terminal application to install a list of apps that I need to install.

Heres the list of commands that I want

This is the list of apps that I use every day on Ubuntu (most of them anyway) but I wouldn't mind having a way to make all of these apps simple and easy to install on a fresh new Ubuntu installation every time.

A natural approach to achieve what you appear to want, is to write a script, for example a bash script. As it appears that you don't know what a script is, I'm going to provide you with a very simple approach, that lacks almost any possible optimization, but is in exchange for this pretty close to what you already have, which might support your understanding and could serve as a basis to build upon a more advanced solution.

This is how your script could look like:

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get --yes update
sudo apt-get --yes upgrade
# reboot is not necessary here, it would also makes things more complicated
sudo apt-get --yes install synaptic
sudo apt-get --yes install software-center
sudo apt-get --yes install gdebi
sudo apt-get --yes install bleachbit
sudo apt-get --yes install yakuake
sudo apt-get --yes install unity-tweak-tool
sudo apt-get --yes install neofetch
sudo apt-get --yes install vlc
sudo apt-get --yes install caffeine
sudo apt-get --yes install gimp
sudo apt-get --yes install virtualbox
sudo apt-get --yes install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo apt-get --yes install google-chrome
sudo apt-get --yes install dropbox
sudo apt-get --yes install atom
sudo apt-get --yes install pyhton
sudo apt-get --yes install kdenlive
sudo apt-get --yes install transmission
sudo apt-get --yes install audacity
sudo apt-get --yes install wine
sudo apt-get --yes update
sudo apt-get --yes upgrade
sudo shutdown -r now # the reboot

As you most likely noticed, the only thing I really added is the --yes to run everything in non-interactive mode, so it stops asking for permission to install all the stuff. Read this short introduction (or any other you might find useful) to get a bit understanding of how this is working in general and how to run the script.

As I already mentioned at the beginning, this script is very, very primitve and could (should) be improved in multiple ways. Good candidates for improvement would be to find a way do avoid the necessity to write sudo prior to every command while still making sure everything gets executed with the correct privileges, to reduce the overall amount of repetitive code used, to make sure you truly need the trailing update and upgrade and I'm pretty sure the people around here might have additional ideas I forgot to improve this script. You might want to use this template and the given advice to find your own way into scripting.
