Save Linux conf / command-steps to fully configured system (Logging + Bash Installation script) [closed]












-1















I would like to use Linux again. Void Linux would be my operating system of Choice.



Tried Slack Linux, ArchLinux, Debian/Raspbian and a little bit Ubuntu.



I'm using Win10 and I think, it will be DualBoot, because I don't want to withdraw from exclusive gaming and programs.



I fear a bit for dual boot grub configuration and I hope it doesn't take too much time to install all system. I have one Desktop Gaming / Work PC.




  • 3 Laptops for different purposes.


TL;DR:



I always wasted what time I invested in configuring and setting up my OS.



But i guess it should be possible(and really smart) if I save my steps in terminal shell for setting up my dream configured system :)?



How would you do that? Did you do it before? Any tips / recommendations?'



My thoughts are:



-Log console input + output (as comment) from terminal (I think I will use the default terminal of Voidlinux + OhMyZsh)
-at the end of day or if a bigger "project" ends:



Save it / strip it to necessary. Sometimes you try & error. ~.bashrc can be funny, if you got drunk.



-in general:



Divide into 2 parts ( like device driver stuff & linux + software conf):



-Hardware dependent of actual device.



-Basic stuff like:



-window manager
-timezone
-network settings
- and so on



-Other device specific stuff.



Though I would try to save time and after driver install, i would like to be lazy and set up every mostly the same, just other hostname and ip for example.



Then save these steps in a .sh, make it executeable and profit?
