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.
EDIT: thanks for replies. I’m mostly seeing Ansible and NixOS. I’ll start looking at those.
Their are a load of ways to do this. I have seen some good once posted already like Ansible. But to give you some more options. Their is also imaging. You setup a system how you like and clone it essentially. A good tool for that is a fog server. Works cross platform too.
