And just as a note this can be applied to all variants to Ubuntu and most variants of Debian. Great article :]

Nice article! I like the idea of trying this out in a virtual machine. I always dual boot linux then give it a shot and if I don’t like it I have to go through the hassle of removing it and fixing the boot loader. Virtual Machine!! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Good article but instead of installing node like that you should take a look into nvm!

Great Article!!
I'll just like to add that postman is pretty overkill for most front-end developers, maybe you should consider postwoman instead, as it is both lightweight and feature rich

I would also suggest insomnia as an alternative to postman, much simpler imo.

Insomnia is frickin awesome. Everytime I wanna run a quick GET in Postman i just end up mashing a button. I don’t wanna make a project now dammit

Great setup and for most of my command line utilities I use Homebrew for Linux

In my case I have Insomnia instead of Postman and also have installed Flameshot to share screenshots, everything else is pretty similar.
