Add notes on my laptop setup

Sneak-remove my itch  to disable auto-fill for  Markdown titles, since
I'm not sure any mode ever does things like that.  While this does not
mean that  it could not  be done, it  does make the  endeavor somewhat
non-idiomatic.

+Here are some things that I do often enough that I want to remember
+how to do them properly, yet rarely enough that I will probably forget
+this stuff if I do not write it down.
+
+# Package managers
+
+## APT
+
+Add deb-src repositories to get:
+
+- `changelog`
+- `build-dep`
+- `source`
+
+# Installing stuff under `$HOME`
+
+E.g. pandoc (compiled from source tarball with stack because there is
+no 32-bit release) and ripgrep:
+
+- programs:
+    - install in `~/.local/bin`
+    - add this folder to `$PATH` (in `.profile` and `.xsessionrc`)
+
+- manpages:
+    - install in `~/.local/share/man/man1`
+    - in `~/.manpath`:
+
+            MANPATH_MAP	~/.local/bin	~/.local/share/man
+
+    - run `mandb --user-db`
+
+- bash completion scripts:
+    - install in `~/.local/share/bash-completion`
+    - in `~/.bash_completion` (sourced by
+      `/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion`):
+
+        ``` bash
+        for f in ~/.local/share/bash-completion/*
+        do
+        [ -f "$f" ] && . "$f"
+        done
+        ```
