-My Linux dot files.

 
 

-# Setup
-Copy the file `setup.sh` to the destination system.
-Source it there.
+EdTheDev's Linux and Windows dot files. 
+These are shared so that I can easily share a link to a tip or trick.

 
 

-Make sure your shell is set to PowerShell
+## Getting Started - Windows
+
+1. [Install chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
+2. Install a decent terminal. This invokes a bunch of KBs.
+```powershell
+choco install microsoft-windows-terminal
+```
+
+3. Set dark theme (non-admin prompt)
+```
+Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 0
+```
+
+4. More packages
+```
+choco install git 
+choco install code
+choco install powertoys
+ 
+```
+
+
+## Getting Started - Raspberyy Pi
+
+### Get Online
+
+```sh
+rasppi-config
+```
+
++ Set up wireless
++ Set keyboard location
+
+### Clone this repository
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get install git
+git clone https://github.com/edthedev/dotfiles.git
+```
+
+### Create a new user
+
+```sh
+sudo useradd bob -m -G sudo
+sudo passwd bob
+sudo passwd pi
+```
+
+### Boostrap CLI
+
+```
+sudo ./install_cli_basics.sh
+```
+
+## Installations
+
+See the `\install` folder for scripts to install various handy utilities. Most of these rely on `Apt` on Linux, or `Chocolatey` on Windows.
+
+## Setups
+
+See the `\setup` folder for configurations.
+These are, obviously, just my preferred configurations.
+
+In general, these work by setting up symlinks on Linux, and on Windows by copying a stub file that sources the versioned file. 
+
+Most of these are cross platform `.ps1` files that run under PowerShell.
