Goal: create a shell script or several to run after first install that will take care of everything.

First ones to write:

NVidia Optimus (primus/bumblebee)
Trackpad settings at boot or at least at login
Low latency kernel
Themes as preferred
Install Bluetooth firmware

Then:

TLP settings (and avoid it conflicting with Bumblebee)
Install some basics like redshift, gimp, kdenlive, etc.
Install current wine (not 1.6?! as in LTS repos)
Fix /dev/sda clean message, etc.

On second thought

How often am I going to be reinstalling the OS? More worth it to just create a step by step checklist.
