I would take "Now some people ask for an automation to get a "pre-installed" laptop" as a lack of " developers preferences".

Personally I dislike Git, and haven't found a git UI I like, so throw whatever you want on there. I am not going to like it, but not because I want something else.

Since you support a range of OSes I assume you would go with a cross platform editor IntelliJ, VSCode or something. Both are fine, and "something" probably is too.

I like beyond compare enough that I bought a personal license for it.

Give them a 100% works out of the box then they can customize the 1 or 2 things they care about.

I might be a bit off topic here, but if you haven't tried Lazygit yet, I can't recommend it enough.

Lazygit is fantastic. For a GUI I highly recommend sublime merge.

I like git okay... mostly use the CLI for it. I do use the VS Code integrations sometimes though. A big part of why I like VS Code is the integrated terminal though.
