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 don’t migrate any config file, always from scratch. My setup isn’t that complicated. Fedora for a long time.

    GUI (mostly Flatpaks):

    • Firefox
    • Chromium (for Xbox Cloud Gaming)
    • Extension Manager
    • Flatseal
    • VeraCrypt
    • Stremio

    CLI:

    • Syncthing
    • VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world

      Does the cloud gaming work pretty well? I’m trying to consider how to move my main rig to Mint, but also not lose my three years of game pass. I think dual boot is likely but feels purpose defeating haha.

        I have no technical problems. The only tricky part was setting up my controller (good old PS2), as I did have to mess with emulation and things like that. In the end, I just have to run a xboxdrv script before running the game. If you have an original Xbox controller it shouldn’t be a problem.

        Anyway, if you encounter any issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad

        EDIT: If you were asking about the cloud gaming experience, it’s pretty good I would say. The image will not be as good as a “physical” Xbox, and probably you will have to deal with queues depending on your location. But, overall, it’s a pretty good deal.
