I completely agree :)

Bear in mind that you can extract a list of the currently installed packages
in order to help you get the same things set up on a new machine.

Any of the following commands will give you a list of what's currently
installed:

# dpkg-query -l
# apt list --installed
# aptitude search ~i

You can also use:

# dpkg --get-selections

to produce a list in the correct format for later piping into:

# dpkg --set-selections

Hope this helps,


Antony.
