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

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?
