Distro hoppers, what's always on your install list when you've finished setup and logged in for the first time? (lemmy.world)

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?

fish is a very good interactive shell. probably one down side is that it’s not posix compliant. but if you set shell for alacritty or zellij as fish and keep system shell as bash or other posix shells, you can use posix shell scripts while using fish as an interactive shell
