Im working on a bash script that will automatically change settings , Backgrounds, update and install various programs. i was hoping a more expierenced kali user could help me get ideas for things to add or problems they see that neeed to be fixed. Thanks for feedback

I Hope some other members will help me add to this script in the future and maybe we could make a perfect post install script
for all kali users to update there fresh installs to there needs, but that task is to daunthing for me to take on by myself. If any of you would be willing to help with this challange pm or email me and ill get back at it. I know with a little help we could make a truely great and useful script for all users to enjoy.
as always i appreciate any input or advice at all
R1g1L
