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 always need

    • LibreWolf (privacy-focused Firefox fork)
    • Some nice terminal emulator like Alacritty or Kitty
    • A torrent client
    • Emacs
    • Strawberry (the music player)

    CLI:

    • fish shell
    • bat
    • neovim
    • fd
    • fzf
    • zoxide
    • Some other Rust alternatives for GNU coreutils
    • GPG
    • fun stuff like neofetch, lolcat, asciiquarium, cmatrix, etc.
    • krash@lemmy.ml

      Another fish and modern Unix user 🫶

      PS. Try out lsd if you haven’t already - a nice ls/eza/exa replacement.

        I absolutely forgot about lsd, I used to use exa but recently I switched to lsd, it’s fantastic.
