I wouldn’t really call myself a distro hopper, but in the last few months I’ve had to do some fresh installs on a couple of machines and VMs for work

If these aren’t included by default, I’ll make sure to get em:

GUI:

  • Firefox & Chromium
  • Gimp & Krita
  • VSCode/VSCodium
  • Okular
  • Libre office

CLI*:

  • git
  • wget&curl
  • neovim
  • zsh/ohmyzsh + plugins
  • glow
  • neofetch
  • figlet/toilet
  • zellij
  • python
  • nodejs/npm/nvm + nodemon globally
  • ranger/rifle

Also, how do you go about migrating your old config and rc files? Start fresh or just copy em over and make adjustments where necessary?

    The things I tend to gravitate towards:

    • Flatpak
    • Firefox of some kind (lately been loving Floorp)
    • Keeper Password Manager extension on Firefox
    • try to install some form of backup
    • git (if not already available)
    • nvm (Node version manager, usually I install the latest LTS)
    • Go (sometimes I write Go programs)
    • Steam (if I plan to play games)
    • Sometimes I’ll install Zsh, sometimes Fish, then oh-my-zsh / oh-my-zsh
    • Fastfetch (Neofetch is so slow?)
