Pull request overview
This PR updates the Ubuntu bootstrap process by fixing the makemkv installer and introducing several new modular package installation scripts. The key improvements include updating makemkv to version 1.18.2 with the required nasm dependency, and organizing package installations into separate scripts for essential, development, desktop, media CLI, and optical disc tools.
- Updated makemkv version from 1.17.6 to 1.18.2 and added missing nasm build dependency
- Created modular package installation scripts for different use cases (essential, dev, desktop, media, optical disc)
- Added comprehensive ubuntu/bootstrap orchestration script with interactive prompts for selective installation
