Ansible playbook to setup a new PC with what I need

SETUP_PC

This is an Ansible playbook + roles intended to be run against a local machine in order to configure/install things that I commonly use / require on any of my laptops.

Before running, it is presumed that you have installed Ansible (not just ansible-core -- you need the extra collections from the ansible package).

Running

# Install role deps
# ansible-galaxy install -r roles/requirements.yml --roles-path ./roles

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -K

Compatability

Some things are only compatible with Mac. I'm trying to achieve parity with it and Linux, but it's a work in progress.

For my Framework laptop with a fingerprint reader, you must use a different become-method in order to work around the fingerprint reader's PAM module not allowing for the password being passed by ansible-playbook.

ansible-playbook --become-method=su -K playbook.yml

Alternatively, you can disable the PAM module temporarily in Fedora:

sudo authselect disable-feature with-fingerprint
