What's the first thing you install on a fresh OS?

It would be VS Code, Node/NPM and Chrome for me.

• VSCode (I feel that Codium is never as good as Code).
• NVM (or Nodist), and Node.js inside it.
• Pyenv, and Python 3 inside it -- No more Python 2 lock in issues for macOS
• Brave browser, or Chrome -- because they have Sync
• Bitwarden -- because of Sync, also
• If macOS, installing Xcode sooner is better than later + first run to accept agreements.

I also wrote a post about clean macOS reformat in the past. (I've done it a lot, because my 128GB MacBook Air is often full.)
