Distro hoppers, what's always on your install list when you've finished setup and logged in for the first time?
I wouldn't really call myself a distro hopper, but in the last few months I've had to do some fresh installs on a couple of machines and VMs for work
If these aren't included by default, I'll make sure to get em:
GUI:
- Firefox & Chromium
- Gimp & Krita
- VSCode/VSCodium
- Okular
- Libre office
CLI*:
- git
- wget&curl
- neovim
- zsh/ohmyzsh + plugins
- glow
- neofetch
- figlet/toilet
- zellij
- python
- nodejs/npm/nvm + nodemon globally
- ranger/rifle
Also, how do you go about migrating your old config and rc files? Start fresh or just copy em over and make adjustments where necessary?

I don't migrate any config file, always from scratch. My setup isn't that complicated. Fedora for a long time.

Does the cloud gaming work pretty well? I'm trying to consider how to move my main rig to Mint, but also not lose my three years of game pass. I think dual boot is likely but feels purpose defeating haha.
I have no technical problems. The only tricky part was setting up my controller (good old PS2), as I did have to mess with emulation and things like that. In the end, I just have to run a xboxdrv script before running the game. If you have an original Xbox controller it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, if you encounter any issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad
EDIT: If you were asking about the cloud gaming experience, it's pretty good I would say. The image will not be as good as a "physical" Xbox, and probably you will have to deal with queues depending on your location. But, overall, it's a pretty good deal.
