* Remove Thunderbird and Audacity. Don't add Geary to new installs but don't remove it in case it comes with the distro.
* Remove Thunderbird from Favorites.
* Add more systems to Dev branch.
* Add sudo so older distros don't ask for password on every app update.
* Alias for sync to help save some time typing.
* Post less often to hopefully allow keeping up a year of data in less than 16GB.
* Allow workstations to use printers without manual intervention.
* Section does more than UI work.
* Fix file path.
* Upgrade nanominer to 3.3.13.
* Add more chances for script to automatically restart.
* Add the minhashrate for x570.
* Up the minimum for x570.
* Fix "1: syntax error, unexpected USERGROUP, expecting END or ':' or '\n'" on FreeBSD.
* Correct FreeBSD package manager.
```
ansible -m setup localhost | grep ansible_pkg_mgr
"ansible_pkg_mgr": "pkgng"
```
* Set vi as EDITOR.
* Add FreeBSD to distros that include make. It does not have an install from pkg.
* Make on FreeBSD hates dash-to-dock's Makefile. GMake has better luck.
* Update supported OS's.

Getting real with system management via ansible-pull.
Disclaimer
This setup is specific to the maintainer's devices and needs. You're welcome to use it as an example for your needs, but do not expect it to work as-is.
Currently Supported Linux Systems
Debian Family
Debian
100%, but only if using a recent enough version of Ansible. pip usually has a better version than apt.
Ubuntu
100%, both server and desktop.
Pop!_OS
100%, have not used for a while though.
Mint
100%, but not really used, just tested once for fun.
Parrot Security OS (MATE)
100% for a while, but OS did not serve maintainer's needs and 404 errors were terrible. Ubuntu Rolling Rhino filled the gap.
Arch Family
Manjaro
100% at some point.
Currently Supported Unix Systems
FreeBSD 12, 13
100%, although GUI is not working completely on 13 yet (dash-to-dock doesn't compile).
Software choices are slightly more limited since not flatpak-enabled and not feeling a ports setup.
Waiting To Be Tested
Kali Linux
Arch Linux ARM
Specifically for the Pinephone.
Arch Linux x86
Would be great to have Arch get built up by this. Used for many years but left after update problems due to a long computer hiatus.
Future Goals
Make the preferred user's name per-device, specified in the hosts file, rather than the hard-coded ling.
Eventually some of the scripts and install files will be put into the files folder. This will allow initializing systems outside of the maintainer's home network.
There may also be a refactor of task-specific facts to be in their task file so that some playbooks can be more self-sufficient and be provided to the community without hacking. The original goal was to never define facts in tasks, but the benefit has yet to be seen for some tasks. Shared facts will definitely continue to exist under the facts tree.
