I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
If it’s Windows (which I only really use for gaming), the first step for me is always doing a clean reinstall of Windows, followed by installing Chocolatey and using that to pull in all the stuff I care about that isn’t handled through some game launcher or storefront. Usually the process also involves a lot of cursing at PowerShell (it’ß great for scripting, but horrendous for interactive usage).
If it’s Linux, the first step is beating the distro over the head to let me set up the storage stack the way I want (I’m super picky about how I set up my filesystems, and most distros do not work quite right out of the box for my usage), usually mixed with pulling in the relatively standard set of packages I use almost everywhere (ZSH, Vim, GNU screen, htop, and a bunch of other tools).
Thanks for sharing this! I also tend to use PowerShell scripts to enable/disable some features on Windows. On Linux, I set up new ssh-keys and add them to my servers, also I setup .zsh and install some additional software like VS Code, Sublime Text and etc.
