## ❓ Why use it?
Post install script for linux aims to quickly setup a system with the same configuration/software across multiple distros.
The scripts are meant to be reproducable and allow you to get to using your new system/virtual machine rather than try to replicate your already existing setup.
You only need to configure apps and configuration files once when changing the project to suit your own needs and be able to use it afterwards.
## 💻 Project location
By using the provided commands the scripts will be downloaded and unzipped in your language's Downloads folder
> [!NOTE]
> Run `xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD` to find out the location of yours
## 🌐 Firefox policy
3 firefox policy templates are included for increased privacy.
Increases privacy, removes telemetry and installs privacy extensions.
Full policy list and changes: [here](docs#-firefox-policy)
> [!NOTE]
> Can be found at `config/firefox/policies.json`
> Manually edit to customize, then copy to `/etc/firefox/policies/` for it to work
