Linus Torvalds statement
To get your Linux ready to use after a fresh install you might have an Ansible playbook to get the system ready to go with all the tools you need.

Optimal way to backup Macs without Time Machine
Not public. But you can search YouTube for geerlingguy and Ansible Mac. I got the idea from him https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook
- How would you set up your work laptop differently if you had to do it again?

A configuration management system for pets, not cattle
This is how I set up my Mac as well; just a local connection. Sets up out of box Mac in about 15 minutes and I can keep my two Mac's configs in perfect sync: https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Anyone have a checklist/plan for when they migrate to a new Mac and do a fresh install?
One way I have seen is to use Ansible and a playbook - Jeff Geerling does this here but that's a bit OTT for me.

Getting my first Mac from work. What are some good work related apps to try out?
Jeff Geerling has a Mac Dev PlayBook repo that is pretty close to how I would build my system.

Your favorite automated method for duplicating your setup on a new machine?
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete script for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed (mac-dev-playbook)[https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook]

Script to setup all dev tools in a local environment
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete tool for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed mac-dev-playbook And if Ansible if just too much, try this simple way to code, document, and replay bits of your installation scripts with this tool I wrote recently and use to deploy systems daily. markdown_exec

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I symlink a few files in place via Dropbox, but have most of my local configs in a dot files repo: https://github.com/geerlingguy/dotfiles
Then for more systemwide configuration, I have an Ansible playbook I run every now and then (configures apps, dock item order, etc): https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

Dotfiles Matter
I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.
Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

System settings that aren’t in System Settings
I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.
-
The right way to keep config files synced across devices?
I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?
If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

System 76 Linux script to set up a new PC including the personal profile and prefered software installs
I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set. And you can setup bootstraps to do what you said, install a bunch of stuff or make custom changes. In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command.
