Just reinstalled the whole machine?
Don't lose the afternoon to it.

Carino Setup is one command. It reads the machine it is running on — operating system, distribution family, hardware — then installs the drivers, codecs and repositories that match it, and the software for whatever the machine is actually for: 15 purpose profiles from Gaming to Medical Imaging. Linux, Windows and macOS, with nothing to install first. It refuses the distributions it cannot do honestly and prints the reason, and a dry run shows you every privileged command instead of running it.

Pick the machine you are setting up.

$ bash <(curl -s https://setup.carino.systems/setup.sh)

Fedora is what it is built and tested on, including the atomic variants. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, RHEL, CentOS and their derivatives are supported too.

Prints every privileged command instead of running it. Nothing is installed and nothing is changed.

What it does

  • Reads the machine before it touches it. Operating system, distribution family and graphics hardware, then it installs what matches instead of a fixed list.
  • 15 purpose profiles. Gaming, Corporate, Development, Design, Cybersecurity, Forensics, Scientific, Robotics, Medical Imaging and more — native packages and the Flatpaks that belong with them.
  • Twelve desktops, where the family has them. GNOME through Niri. Where a family has no package list for one, the builder names it and says why rather than letting the install fail halfway.
  • Rehearses on request. A dry run prints every privileged command it would run and installs nothing.
  • Installer menus in eight languages. English, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Finnish, Chinese, Korean and Hebrew.

What it will not do

  • It is not a configuration manager. It installs once. It does not converge a machine to a described state, it does not run again on a schedule, and running it twice does not undo the first run. Ansible and Salt still have a job.
  • It is not sandboxed. It runs privileged commands and adds third-party repositories — RPM Fusion, EPEL, Remi, Flathub, LibreWolf, AnyDesk. Read the dry run before you run the real one.
  • It is not universal, and it says so. A list of distributions is refused by design, each with the reason printed. Source-based, musl, non-systemd and declarative systems are not near misses; supporting them would be a different tool.
  • It is not a backup. Run it on a fresh install, not on a machine carrying work you have not copied off somewhere else.

Fedora family — Fedora, Nobara, Risi, Ultramarine, and the atomic variants Silverblue, Kinoite, Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora and Universal Blue.

Debian family — Debian, Ubuntu and its flavours, Mint, LMDE, Pop!_OS, Zorin, elementary, Kali, Parrot, Devuan, Raspberry Pi OS, MX, Deepin, KDE neon and more.

Enterprise — RHEL, CentOS Stream and the rebuilds: Rocky, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux and others. Arch family — Arch, Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda, CachyOS, ArcoLinux, RebornOS, Archcraft. Amazon Linux, headless only. openSUSE is still under test.

Refused by design, each with a reason the script prints: SteamOS, Artix, Parabola, Gentoo, Slackware, NixOS, Guix, Alpine, Void, Clear Linux, Solus, Qubes, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Chimera and the transactional openSUSE variants.

The Plan Builder prints each of those reasons in full — pick the distribution there to read the one you came for.
