Hi all. This project uses Ansible to install all kinds of desktop software for the &quot;Everyday User&quot;, &quot;Programmer&quot;, &quot;Artist&quot;, &quot;Musician&quot;, &quot;Engineer&quot;, and &quot;Gamer&quot;. It works on Ubuntu 18.04 and related systems (found in README).<p>Please let me know what your thoughts on the solution are.<p>If you are interested in helping to evolve it, these are the top TODOs:<p>- Currently, Snap, Apt, Pip3, and NPM are the main package managers. We need to also harness Yum, Pacman, and RPM.<p>- Simplify the install process.<p>- Consider building a very user friendly GTK UI application where programs can be individually selected in a given persona.
