Compiled from a Reddit sysadmin post, only selecting lists of tools as some are pretty good.
- Linux, if it's a Windows PC, otherwise macOS is fine.
- homebrew
- VirtualBox and Linux :-)
- ... nothing. - I work in so many secured areas that you can't install tools without approval
- Spotify. And uBlock origin. Then work from there.
- chocolatey, then pass it an XML config file with the entire list of things it’ll install: all my browsers, VS Code, Notepad++, Royal TS, SSMS, Powershell Core, WSL, name it
- RSAT, Putty, VNC, rAdmin and other remote support tools we use, vSphere client, Notepad++, Wireshark, Sysinternals suite
- 7zip, PowerShell 7, Windows Terminal Preview, Firefox, the new Chromium Edge, mRemoteNG, VSCode, neovim, git, sed, RSAT, Captura, WindowGrid, WSL2 + Ubuntu 18.04
- Nmap, vim, git, 7zip
- tarball of my basic dotfiles (.bashrc, .vimrc, .screenrc), iterm2, MacVim
- My script does dotfiles (and homebrew, if it's a mac) first, then cli tools, then languages (python, ruby, perl) and virtual envs, then misc dev & productivity tools (docker, vagrant, ansible, puppet, slack, browsers, nmap, wireshark, IDEs, etc), and finally all my desktop settings (shortcuts & keybindings, themes, preferences, etc).
