On a work machine: installing my preferred IDE, setting up my shell the way I want and making sure everything that I need works properly (cloning repos, running hello worlds for things I use, etc.). I'm working on a personal repo that will do all that for me or at least have a markdown file with all the stuff I need, because there's a lot and I don't want to forget then have to install something 2 months later.

For a personal machine: I've not done this in a while, but browsing preferences and bookmarks, then disabling all the stuff that wants to run at start up and a hefty amount of gaming related programs.
