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

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?
htop, midnight commander, nettools (ping, ifconfig), nmap, ssh server
You don't use iproute2?
I personally always install
- LibreWolf (superior fork of Firefox)
- Alacritty or Kitty
- Emacs
- Strawberry
- FreeTube
- Signal Desktop
- Bitwarden
For terminal usage I install:
- Fish shell
- Neovim
- bat
- fd
- ripgrep
- fzf/sk
- lsd
- lf
- tmux
- git
- GPG
- Fun stuff like neofetch, hollywood, cmatrix, asciiquarium, figlet, etc.
I just pull down my ansible playbook from github and run it.
Would you mind sharing the link to your repo?
