I frequently reinstall Linux. Is there a tool to say what to install and configure that I can just run once after OS install? Things like
- Install neovim, signal, steam
- Configure firefox, desktop environment
I’m using this for just me, on my personal machine.
I don’t anticipate it’s possible between different distros, so assume I’m reinstalling the same distro.
There are several tools. Ansible is an excellent cross platform tool for provisioning systems. I use it to manage packages, users, network and firewall configs, etc. across several systems.
