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.
I’m now trying out SUSE microOS for my mini servers. These are initially setup via combustion / ignition. you add these scripts to a usb stick and insert them during the first boot where they initialize fhe system. As far as I saw, at least ignition is quite open and supported by most distros
