Ask HN: What are you all using to automate desktop setup and config?

So, as seems to happen a couple of times a year, I'm faced with installing (in my case Ubuntu) GNU/Linux on an x86 machine for personal use.

Then I'll have to go through and do all the things I always do:

* Install a bunch of packages: net-tools, vlc, sshfs, and like 30 others * Install Steam and Discord * Install browser extensions * Set some config options * Pair with my bluetooth devices

...and on and on.

What is everyone using in 2019 to automate some or all of these tasks?
