   6 ## Getting Started - Windows
   7
   8 > Note: Bookmark this guide. You're going to reboot at least a few times.
   9
  10 Optional - change host name
  11 ```
  12 Rename-Computer -NewName FOOOOOOO -Restart
  13 ```
  14
  15 1. [Install chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
  16 2. Install a decent terminal. This invokes a bunch of KBs.
  17 ```powershell
  18 choco install microsoft-windows-terminal # reboot after
  19 ```
  20
  21 3. Set dark theme (non-admin prompt)
  22 ```
  23 Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 0
  24 ```
  25
  26 4. Reboot after first setup - you may see errors in `choco` commands otherwise.
  27 5. Set the PC time zone correctly - otherwise expect an install error in later `choco` commands.
  28

  32 choco install code

  70 ## Installations
  71
  72 See the `\install` folder for scripts to install various handy utilities. Most of these rely on `Apt` on Linux, or `Chocolatey` on Windows.
  73
  74 ## Setups
  75
  76 See the `\setup` folder for configurations.
  77 These are, obviously, just my preferred configurations.
  78
  79 In general, these work by setting up symlinks on Linux, and on Windows by copying a stub file that sources the versioned file.
  80
  81 Most of these are cross platform `.ps1` files that run under PowerShell.
