I frequently reinstall Linux. Is there a tool to say what to install and configure that I can just run once after OS install? Things like

  • Install neovim, signal, steam
  • Configure firefox, desktop environment

I’m using this for just me, on my personal machine.

I don’t anticipate it’s possible between different distros, so assume I’m reinstalling the same distro.

EDIT: thanks for replies. I’m mostly seeing Ansible and NixOS. I’ll start looking at those.

    Fedora offers kickstart.

    Others have cloudinit or ignition.

    Those are the ones if used personally.
