Thank you both, yea I do recall eopkg hs does the trick but not in my case.
eopkg li in the other hand is what I prefer more, since it only gives me a list of the packages and that is what I need.
So lets say I've not ask the right question here. Since just recently I've discovered a post that explains how to do a backup of eopkg li
to make all of the packages reinstall on a newly installed system with a simple command. So if I for; example
change my system from Plasma to lets say Budgie, I wouldn't want it to install some of the default Plasma apps like "kwallet,plasma-desktop..etc"(which are listed in my current eopkg li) would it actually skip them, or would I need to remove those packages from my backup eopkg lifile?
These are the commands I've found out to do this:
eopkg li | cut -d " " -f 1 | tr '\n' ' ' > /InstalledPackages (to do a backup)
sudo eopkg install $(cat InstalledPackages) (to restore it on a different pc)
Thanks to @Justin for his post!
Btw. for my future plan I will just install all of the packages I need from the terminal so I can later just look them up with search engine if I ever need to install them on lets say my other computer with freshly installed Solus.
