Some application settings are simply imported from backups.Some minor details may be obfuscated for security or privacy reasons.Each of these apps will make it clear during the install process, so I’ve omitted those details here. Many applications are going to require you to explicitly grant permissions.This means that you may need to jump around a bit, rather than just work your way through from top to bottom. Tasks are grouped by category rather than written chronologically 1. I’m sharing this because 1) I thought others might find it interesting or useful and 2) it’ll be fun for me to look back on this post and see what’s changed/evolved. In this post, I’m documenting how I set up a new MacOS computer in 2023. Setting up a new laptop is not something I do very frequently (or I would spend more time trying to automate it), and it just feels fun for everything to start coming together piece-by-piece. I’m sure there’s a way to automate this more (through dotfiles or some other automation template) but I enjoy doing everything by hand. I was recently setting up my old FullStory laptop as a personal computer, and I was reminded about how absolutely wonderful it is to have a document like this. Then, I got into the habit of tweaking and adjusting this document every time I made a change to my setup. Several years ago, I decided to document every single action I took when setting up a new laptop, in order to have a set of instructions for the next time. Which means every time I get a new laptop (either through work, or otherwise), there is a ton of small adjustments that need to be made before it really feels like mine. Everything is in the perfect place, and everything works exactly how I want it to work. Over the years, I’ve tweaked and customized my laptop to perfection.
