Hi all. This project uses Ansible to install all kinds of desktop software for the "Everyday User", "Programmer", "Artist", "Musician", "Engineer", and "Gamer". It works on Ubuntu 18.04 and related systems (found in README).

Please let me know what your thoughts on the solution are.

If you are interested in helping to evolve it, these are the top TODOs:

- Currently, Snap, Apt, Pip3, and NPM are the main package managers. We need to also harness Yum, Pacman, and RPM.

- Simplify the install process.

- Consider building a very user friendly GTK UI application where programs can be individually selected in a given persona.
