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?

Zsh with prezto and some sort of guake-like

What does prezto do? Is it similar to oh-my-zsh? Have you ever tried fish shell?

Yeah, very similar. And I used to use fish, but I got fed up with it not supporting bash scripts, so now I just have prezto with plugins that make it act exactly like fish 😁

I used to use zsh with oh-my-zsh and Powerlevel10k before I switched to fish. I actually considered going back to zsh (don’t remember why) but now I’m pretty happy with fish. What to you mean with fish not supporting bash scripts? A bash script should always have #!/bin/bash at the beginning of the file, that way it will always be executed in bash, even if you run it from fish.
