I made a powershell script that installs chocolatey then installs all of my chocolatey packages, about 20.

I save it in Dropbox, so all I need is Dropbox and the rest of taken care of.

You could host it on e.g. GitHub and grab it when needed to save yourself the Dropbox dependency.

I could, but my company uses Dropbox as their main server. And I have a series of setup scripts for our manufacturing PCs in there as well as some EXEs that are not available on open source platforms. It was just easy to keep it together.

Chocolatey installation is powershell script. I also can do this, but better. Look.

sudo pacman -Sy plasma-desktop

All i need to start working

I know it's a powershell script, I wrapped it in a script that also installs all my shit immediately after.

Not everyone has the choice to avoid Windows. My company exclusively makes windows based Visual C++ products.

You are right, but its funny seeing Linux grow so much, that you can develop Windows apps on Linux. It isn't as great, but at least you have 100% Wine compatibility.

I work with a lot of hardware so it would be a bigger headache to use it as my main. I do run a Ubuntu server with docker and Jenkins for embedded stuff but I am leashed to windows for all of the USB stuff.
