And then, in Windows, you likely want WSL, and you will likely need a mix of some tools in windows, some in linux and some in both. It can definitely get messy. That doesn't even count developer tool preferences.

I created a relatively long set of install instructions for Windows+WSL[1] a couple years ago and it's already outdated in a few areas. I mean most should be able to figure it out, but it just really varies a lot. Even with WinGet, Chocolatey, etc. Windows is just the odd duck here. Doubled with the Linux/WSL bits.

Linux is probably the easiest to script out, second would be mac imo, but need multiple steps with homebrew, etc.
