Setting up a fresh PC For development

• Chrome & google sign-in (sync)
• 1password sign-in (sync)
• Enable Remote desktop, configure on mac https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-allow-access
• Enable WSL 1 and restart https://www.dpoindexter.com/garden/install-cmder-on-win-10-wsl-1/

• Set up auto hotkeys
• Set up cmder terminal for ubuntu
• Install and set up tmux with settings
• Configure vim and settings
• Install and configure vs code for cmder
• Configure AWS credentials and profiles

Note: I found out how to set the default directory in Ubuntu correctly https://conemu.github.io/en/BashOnWindows.html#wsl-home

set "PATH=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\wsl;%PATH%" & %ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-cyg-64.exe --wsl -C~ -cur_console:pm:/mnt

The addition of -C~ after --wsl is the key.
