20+ years ago, Lindows had a great app store that let you create an "aisle" of your favorite apps so if/when you'd reinstall your OS, instead of searching and installing all your apps one-by-one, you'd just go to your aisle, click "install all" and boom.

Is there anything that exists like that today?

apt-mark showmanual

Should only show you the packages that you've explicitly installed (i.e. were not installed as dependencies).

If you installed meta packages (say, KDE Plasma) then it'll mark each component of that install as manually installed.

apt-mark minimize-manual

Will mark the meta packages as auto instead of manual.
