Earlier this year, I built a new PC and it’s running Ubuntu. I’ve been installing various apps and configuring them since then. Now, I realize I don’t have any way of knowing what I would want to reinstall, if I (for instance) lost this drive somehow.

How do you keep track of what you’ve installed/ your favorite apps?

Separately, how can I backup the configurations I’m using right now.

Thanks!

    I just check my Nix.config, but most distros don’t have that privilege.

    Idk how it works for most other distros, but I know on Arch you can check all packages manually installed by pacman and your AUR helper.
