I would suggest install "only" those you require to run your dev environment and that depends on tech stack you are using.

Minimum set would be:

  • Web browser of your choice (i.e. Chrom, Firefox etc)
  • IDE (and build tools) of your choice (i.e. Visual Studio, VS Code, Eclipse etc)
  • Source repo client of your choice (i.e. Git bash or some other repo clients)
  • Communication tool of your choice (Mail, Skype, Slack, Teams etc)
