Getting my laptop setup to spec

What are the things that I cannot live without in a new laptop?

It is a good opportunity to explore this question when you are using a new laptop and a new OS altogether.

Will try to list down the things that I required to install on my new laptop and how I went about it when using Mac OS

Applications

This can be split between two categories:

Day to day use

  1. Discord (Drag application)
  2. Telegram (App Store)
  3. Wireguard (App Store)
  4. Visual Studio Code (Running the binary)

Tech Plumbing

  1. python3 – Required installing Xcode as it is already provided with it. The version that I got was 3.8.2
  2. lua – needed to install brew to get this working. Finally got version 5.4 of Lua installed (All my Lua automations should work flawlessly with this)

Other stuff

  1. Installed Notability as I believed that it will allow me to sync notes from my iPad Easily. Do not have high hope for it though
