It would be VS Code, Node/NPM and Chrome for me.
What would be the first things you install?

Google Chrome. And then a whole bunch of things I need for development. I wrote a gist a while ago so that I don't forget anything when I setup a new machine - gist.github.com/hrishimittal/7fd25...
Windows has Night Light included now.
Start > Night Light
I like the tool too, must-have for the eyes 👌👍
Firefox
VSCode (and a bunch of extensions)
GitKraken
Spotify
GIMP
Windows Terminal / iTerm2 if not on Linux
WSL if on Windows
Didn't know about GitKraken, looks amazing !
I seldom fresh install OS on any of my machines. My best practice is just to keep one original clone image. If anything goes wrong to that machine. I just re-clone it. And straight away using the machine for work. The backup image has all the tools I need, including WinOS VM (Oracle Virtualbox).
either using linux or windows that will make your new cloned OS get back on the updates you had back those days, which means you'll last more time installing those updates than what you'll last from the beginning performing a clean install of all
@joelbonetr I still can reply to your deleted comment. So let me reply to you. I actually use a tool to backup user settings, user data, and installed packages with Lyft. The backup never containing the Linux OS. After I fresh clone the hard drive, I just run the Linux distribution migration tool. The system will be the same as last time. But the Linux OS is a brand new one. Everything is automated. Magic!
Hey @loouislow , there's no deleted comment here (I usually edit comments for typos as I don't use English on my day a day except from here and other blogs) and my opinion still the same, I usually format the OS when something break up so I prefer to clean install all the things (that's about half an hour) instead.
Nice to know that tool and thanks for sharing, it could be useful for other people :)
Ohhh... I finally get it. I was blocking you @joelbonetr by accident. That's why...
? this thread is a bit weird and don't know where it comes 😆 😆 😆
Thanks for the sarcasm, I love the gift. (kiss)

Welp, this is a good question to make me build a to-do list when installing a fresh OS (Windows). So here it goes:
Damn, I didn't realize I use so many programs, although I think I still miss some... Hope someone finds this list interesting enough :).
Awesome tools there 👍👌
Well the first thing you need to install on a fresh OS are those things you need to get your job running smoothly and perfect. For me it will be VS19, DotNetFrameWorkCore, Sql-Server, Edge browser, VsCode and Sublime Text
My dotfiles repo has an install script. It's essentially a "package.json" for Arch packages. So I generally install git first, so that I can clone this repo and run the install script, which sets up all the applications I use, including dotfiles
A very interesting question!
In order:
Then everything else on a need-to-have basis 🙂
