Things you do on a fresh installation or a new work device?

There's a few subconscious things we end up installing or doing when we get a freshly installed OS or a new system all together.

Here's a list of things I go through on a new setup.

Download Chrome, log in to Dropbox, get my ssh key from there, clone my dot files repo, run my script that sets up almost everything. :) It takes about 10 minutes to completely setup a system from scratch for me.

That's nice!
I have ssh keys on a private ssh server at home.
it's a rasp-pi so i carry it with me in my bag so I can do the above anytime I want.

Link to your dot files?
I'm assuming its a linux setup .

Yeah, it's a Linux setup. As for the repo, it's on my github acct, "dotfiles", I prefer not to post direct links. Also, it's pretty messy and undocumented. :)

That’s fine. I just like going though shell scripts.
Helps me find new ways to handle scenarios.

That nice, I’ve never really setup windows for dev but I know choco and scoop act as cli package managers and I guess you could automate the rest as well.
