After reinstalling CachyOS on a tower PC, the first essential task was connecting to a cloud account for seamless access to important files. Utilizing a self-hosted Nextcloud server on a Raspberry Pi 4 allows for automatic syncing of documents across multiple devices, alleviating the hassle of manual transfers.
Another crucial step involved ensuring access to Flatpaks, enhancing software installation. By installing the flatpak package and adding the Flathub repository with a simple command, a wider selection of applications becomes available. This method is preferred over alternatives like Snaps, as Flathub offers a more extensive library of Linux software.
Finally, to streamline application setup, configuration files stored in the hidden .config directory were transferred. This practice minimizes the need for reconfiguration of applications, allowing for a quicker and smoother transition to the new desktop environment.
