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?
Meaning that your distro of choosing comes with most of the stuff bundled in…?
No, I’m just a fan of lazy initialization.
Lazy installation?

Yeah I understand that but surely you have a list of hours you know you need almost every time?
Why bother, when I can install the tools I need in a matter of seconds when I need them? It’s not like the old days when I gotta pull out the crate of driver floppies.
