Restoring My Mac (Again)

My Macbook Air M1 had some charging issues that required a logic board change so that meant that I needed to reinstall everything again.

This is not the first time I had to do a full reinstall so this time I could mostly find and install the stuff I needed in a few hours.

This is both my work and personal laptop so it will have both work and non work related software.
