Documenting the steps I take when bootstrapping a new install. Assuming Debian and GNOME for now.

To eventually be automated, e.g. as a shell script or with something like ansible.

installation
- encrypt drive (is there a way to just encrypt home dir?)
- create user with sudo
post installation
- install guake
  - add as a startup application via gnome tweak tool
- install tmux
- install git
- clone dotfiles repo to .dotfiles
  - symlink .dotfiles/spacemacs -> .spacemacs
  - symlink .dotfiles/tmux.conf -> .tmux.conf
- switch to adwaita dark mode
- install syncthing
  - to pull down org files
  - add as a startup application (via gnome tweak tool)

- install keepassxc
- mkdir Code
- mkdir Programs
- ln -sr .dotfiles/bash_profile .bash_profile
- ln -sr .dotfiles/bashrc .bashrc
