+EdTheDev's Linux and Windows dot files. 
+These are shared so that I can easily share a link to a tip or trick.
 
-## Setup
+## Getting Started - Windows
 
-`bootstrap.ps1` - Script I use to setup on Windows. Mostly relies on Chocolatey, of course.
-`bootstrap.sh` - Script I use to setup on Linux. Makes many decisions, as some of my Linux hosts are for targeted purposes.
+1. [Install chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
+2. Install bare minimum packages:
+
+Run a command prompt as administrator:
+```powershell
+choco install git code powertoys microsoft-windows-terminal 
+```
+
+
+## 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.
+
