Assuming you are using an apt/dpkg distro:

Save the list of packages on your reference system:

dpkg --get-selections > packages.lst

Then install packages based on that list on your target system, after updating the list of available packages:

dpkg --merge-avail <(apt-cache dumpavail)
dpkg --clear-selections
dpkg --set-selections < packages.lst
apt-get dselect-upgrade

True both. Idolizing the “denazification” by OP is just not logical. I think a couple of years after the “three day op” this excuses has worn out already.

Ubuntu with snaps disabled is my daily driver…

I agree, it isn’t by all means comparable to the windows way of pushing ads in your face.

The only thing I really have issues with is the move to snaps. They are just too slow (even on i5 elitedesk it is noticeable. It should have been made optional in my opinion.

Thank you for being my introduction to the fediverse, lemm.ee!

Jumped ship from reddit and have never looked back.

Except for the google results which you cannot navigate because you have to have a reddit account. Nope.

Rewriting history maybe should not have been the first cause of action, resetting the password would have been the sane option here.

Not judging though 😉

At least the irratic behaviour internationally would be presented in a funny way 😉

Look for refurbished elitedesk g5, it runs debian magnificantly! I splurged a bit on the memory and ssd and have a quite nice desktop (developer).

The one concern I have is that banks are app only more and more, not being able to run banking apps (is that the case?) Is a no go for me.

Nightmare scenario. Glad to see you found a solution!
