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?

I personally always install

  • LibreWolf (superior fork of Firefox)
  • Alacritty or Kitty
  • Emacs
  • Strawberry

  • Bitwarden

For terminal usage I install:

  • Fish shell
  • Neovim
  • bat
  • fd
  • ripgrep
  • fzf/sk
  • lsd
  • lf
  • tmux
  • git
  • GPG
  • Fun stuff like neofetch, hollywood, cmatrix, asciiquarium, figlet, etc.
