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?
First I install home-manager, then home-manager installs and configures everything else I’ve added to my config over time
Any issues with home manager?
I’ve not had any but I’m using NixOS, have yet to try it on other distros. (though it supports other distros)
Using it on Nixos, Debian (wsl) and was using it (in the transition to nixos) on arch. Works flawless!
