-- add logic to the main run script to handle cloning of this repo
-- config for window manager for linux (first, decide which wm to use)
-- config for terminal emulator (currently ghostty)
-- config for mpd, mpc, ncmpcpp
-- config for mpv
+- choose window manager for linux, then configure
+- config for: terminal (ghostty); mpd, mpc, ncmpcpp; mpv
 - config for gimp, `src_files/.config/GIMP` (dir)
     - set things in gtkrc only? still need to nest that within a sub dir?
     - or configure in gimp, copy resulting dir to `src_files/.config/GIMP`, call it a day
-- maybe build in flags/logic for skipping certain installs/builds (and maybe configs?)
-    on a given system (i.e. don't install on a company box, on a server, etc.)
 - decide on and implement approach for languages and versioning
     - asdf, or language-specific version managers?
     - docker? or alternatives like podman? any license concerns?
-    - hybrid of the above?
