Rework profile/env for shells

Ignore brave browser in theme-set for now
I dug at this for a while and it never worked well. There might be some way to do this with what currently exists, but it isn't obvious if so and I don't think it is worth it. I think I may prefer to just set brave to dark mode and keep the frame minimal. Also, my plan is to switch to using qutebrowser as my primary browser anyway.

- choose window manager for linux, then configure
- config for: terminal (ghostty); shell; mpd, mpc, ncmpcpp; mpv
- decide on docker? or alternatives like podman? any license concerns?
- switch installation approach, use csv file with programs to install, install types,
-  any extra flags/opts, comments
-    - regarding the system-types idea i'd started to build in already, maybe have a
-      column for filtering in the csv file, or just have multiple csv files corresponding
-      to a base/core install, a music-studio install, a employer/work machine, etc.
- add command in tmux to perform cd to a given dir in all windows of the current session

+## Original pattern/approach and some core config logic
+
+The original pattern and approach for this project, the original program-installation
+and copy-configs-and-files scripts/logic, the "tmux sessionizer" (tmux session init
+logic), my initial neovim and tmux configs, and my general workflow/workspace strategy,
+were derived from several of ThePrimeagen's (aka Michael Paulson) projects and videos,
+including a FrontEnd Masters course which he taught (each are listed below). I was
+unable to locate any required licenses or copyrights for the code contained within
+these sources, but I wanted to give attribution nonetheless.

david	52610e056a	Ignore brave browser in theme-set for now I dug at this for a while and it never worked well. There might be some way to do this with what currently exists, but it isn't obvious if so and I don't think it is worth it. I think I may prefer to just set brave to dark mode and keep the frame minimal. Also, my plan is to switch to using qutebrowser as my primary browser anyway.	2025-11-14 20:00:31 -06:00
