I've got a workstation running Ubuntu 16.04 that I've been using awhile, and as per the normal behavior here at the company I work, I've installed both (development) team required tools and random stuff that I use. Also dotfiles. Also alternatives. Also ppas. Also various edits to files in /etc. Also python packages. Also ... and so on.
Is there a way I can get all the customizations I've made? I.e., stuff that didn't happen out of the box? So I can duplicate this on a new box. (Or this box after I flatten it.) A list would be sufficient (don't need, e.g., a script).
Looking for a tool/a procedure/a checklist that could get me going.
(I looked over the first couple of pages of "popular tags" and didn't see anything that looked really appropriate - sorry!)
Update: Very sorry I forgot to mention: I can't do a clone. This workstation is no longer really working right and I don't know how to get it back to a clean state. In particular I've installed and uninstalled various NVidia drivers and CUDA releases so many times over the course of the year that I can in fact no longer build using CUDA. So I must flatten it and start over.
I'm going to look at the Q&A @Raffa pointed to in the comments ... but maybe there's been some more knowledge gained/more tools written/more blog posts in the past 8 years so I'll leave this question up ...
