    I made something similar. Whenever I install a new workstation that runs Linux, I run this script:

    https://github.com/pkrumins/install-computer/blob/master/ins...

    This script installs all packages that I use, links all the dotfiles, all dockerfiles, all services, setups all virtual hosts, and the new workstation is ready to use in 5 minutes. Before it would take weeks to properly set it up as I'd always forget something (missing file or configuration option).

    Ha, I also have something similar[1], but I use a mix of profiles and flavors. I have two profiles: pkg for installing packages and user for configuring user profiles. Profiles are then broken down further with flavors: dev for development packages, desktop for desktop packages and configurations, and so on.

    I found it highly amusing that we're taking similar approaches for a lot of things: a wrapper function for sudo and fetch, and OS detection (especially the appending WSL suffix part). Mine is not as idempotent as yours, and having a per-package definition is still in my TODO list, though.
