Linux installs fast. Then you spend the next hour doing the same boring ritual: browser, codecs, media tools, chat apps, dev tools, fonts, utilities… all via tabs, notes, and half-forgotten package names.
So I built LinuxMate: a free, open-source helper that generates a clean “get me productive” install script from a checklist. Basically Ninite, but for Linux, and without the “sign in to continue existing” vibes.
- Pick apps/tools
- Choose your distro / package manager
- Get a reproducible script
- Run it and move on with your life

If you’ve got strong opinions (the useful kind): distro support, package picks, safer defaults, or edge cases, I’m collecting feedback.
It is indeed with the help of llm. But reasoning is still solid and very curated.
It isn’t your reasoning and promoting it as such when asking us to read doesn’t feel honest at all.
asking us to read? I do not ask you to read?
So that’s the mistake I made and the important part. Thanks for clarifying.
I still feel misled that it’s labelled as somehing it isn’t (“my reasoning”).
What do you mean?
