When you get a new computer, what are the first things you do? Whether it's:
- Installing programs
- Adding shortcuts
- Disabling certain options
- Setting up new preferences
- Etc.
I'm eager to hear what you'd consider the must-do "first steps" for a new machine.

I have to uninstall Spotify, use Spotify web instead, it takes nearly 30GB space even I disabled offline
There is no web thing works well in my Ubuntu. I don't know why. But every 10 minutes, I can't open websites on Ubuntu. For example, I tried to visit instagram.com, it wasn't open the first time. I refreshed the page it was open.
So, browser things aren't for me. :P
Search DEV for ideas and help 😄

Install and configure Ubuntu MATE atop Pop_OS!, migrate my files, and then install my favorite apps, such as:
...for starters. I've got plenty more I install.
If it is windows, I install chrome and remove Internet explorer/edge.
I go through all the steps to make sure the typical dev environment/tools I use are installed and work.
And then, maybe a weird thing, but I choose which browser I want to use and set up and save all of the typical accounts I use like my email, Notion, Github, CodePen, CodeSandox, etc.
I also create collections and add my most commonly used websites to Toby. Like this:
Always start by making any preference adjustments (colour, font size, icon size etc) then start the task of installing all the software I want
Install command line tools and homebrew lol
I take a deep breath and appreciate the moment 😅
Really... it's singular.
Run HWMonitor to make sure I didn't screw anything up haha(If I built it)
