Ubuntu 20.04 Virtual Machine with Hyper-V

Ansible Playbook to configure my laptops and desktops

My journey to the current state of this repo
- I found a cool bash script on the internet (I didn't understand most of it) 🤷
- I modified cool bash script for my needs and it worked! 🚀
- I learned about Makefiles. 😄
- I proceeded to do everything with Makefiles. 🤩🤩🤩
- I got tired of running successive Make targets over and again 😐.

- I put off actually taking the plunge to use Ansible. 🕒🕕🕘🕛
- I finally took the plunge and decided to use Ansible for my configuration. ✔️
I've aligned ansible tags/roles around my common use cases:
