Make yourself comfortable on any Android/Linux/Windows/etc. machine. Here are my personal settings to set up everything ASAP.

📋 Preparation

• Git available? If yes, execute in a terminal window: cd ~; git clone https://github.com/fleschutz/my-settings
• Otherwise, download and extract this repo into the home folder (see green button above).

📲 Basic Applications

• On Windows: Execute: ./uninstall-bloatware.ps1 and then: ./install-basic-apps.ps1.

Afterward, add the most-used applications to the taskbar below.

☀️ Basic Look
