WoeUSB is the only convenient way I've been able to make bootable (UEFI) USB Windows medium. Usually purge all the partitions on the USB device prior, using Gnome Disks application.

I use Gnome Disks application - restore (or DD), for Linux

@black3dynamite actually just consuming some coffee while reading through the AppGet docs

@black3dynamite so it's appended the version at the time of manifest creation (even though the default Tag of "latest" would mean it pulls the latest version)?

As part of my effort to streamline recreation of my daily driver Windows box, I've been looking at posts from various Developers using Windows 10, detailing their environment configuration. They generally have pretty extensive application / package dependencies so it seemed like a good source of tips and strategies.

I stumbled across mentions of Scoop and AppGet. I'd heard of Scoop, it was on my radar, but AppGet, I've no knowledge of. It uses YAML for manifests (which are open source and stored in GitHub). Seems to be a decent (and current) list of Packages.

I do use Chocolatey on my PC and for helping patch the Windows PCs at work, but it's not been super smooth sailing.

Anyone spent any time using AppGet?

Update - Developer manifesto AppGet, What Chocolatey wasn’t

@scottalanmiller these discussions echo my thoughts exactly. I'm only (hesitantly) learning Docker now, but it feels like it's not a long term answer(I'm possibly too late to the party?), as other approaches are increasing in mind-share.

@StuartJordan I kinda like the netplan approach (ducks for cover)

Fedora 30 workstation is very nice - testing on an intel nuc5ppyh(I have a bunch to look after) that so far, all the recent *buntu derived distros (haven't tested Pop!_OS though) exhibit random freezing and graphical glitches. "nomodeset" etc is painful. So far F30 is glitch free .

Would be nice to sit on just one flavoured distro for the Linux side of things here. Not sure I'm loving the Snap thing either..

@JaredBusch I'm not quite at that level of dissatisfaction, but it's feeling like its time to move

@scottalanmiller this sounds dare-I-say-it... "Smooth"? Trawling ML at the moment, trying to decide if to move from Ubuntu server
