Customization settings I make on my Linux installs

I like to tweak my Linux desktop a bunch, here is a record of those changes
so I can replicate it onto another computer:

• Install KDE plasma
  • Turn on translucency and wobbly windows
  • Turn off mouse acceleration
  • Set the theme to Breeze Dark
  • Add some virtual desktops
  • Add spacers to push the Icon-Only Task Manager to the center of the panel
  • Set the panel to “Dodge Windows”
  • Tweak power management settings
    • On laptops, make sure to install power-profiles-daemon
    • On desktops, set it to do pretty much nothing but lock the screen
• Install neovim, ruby, rake (ruby-rake), git, and OpenSSH
• Download my dotfiles and symlink them (run rake in the checkout)
• Configure systemd to pull environment variables from a different location
  • Might need to symlink ~/.config and ~/.cache as well
• Install interception-caps2esc and configure it / udevmon to replace caps with ctrl & escape
