I want to reinstall my linux system (specifically linux mint). I have kept important data elsewhere, so I can safely remove everything.However, I want to do the following: save the list of packages I have installed so far after reinstall take the backup list and use it to install packagesAre there tools that can assist in doing this. I know I can use dpkg -l to get list but perhaps I only want the leafs - packages that no other depend on.
