You don't already do this for Linux? :( A new Linux setup already requires me to visit a bunch of sites and find .debs. Chrome, Signal, Edge, Visual Studio Code, Slack, etc. I don't really trust random unofficial maintainers in snap store and all of the above is required for my work.

Don't most distribution repos already have all those already included with the "main" package management system?
Depends on the distro, I can just install all of those directly with Nix.
I just write flatpak install chrome and the machine is like OK /s
