From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just put your system configuration in Ansible playbook. When your distro has new release, go through your changes and remove ones that are no longer relevant.
For home, I recommend a dotfiles repository with subdirectories for each tool, like bash, git, vim, etc. Use GNU
stow
to symlink the required files in place on each machine.I use ansible + a debian preseed for unattended installs.
