This is weird and niche. Why a whole setup? Why bother with an entire distribution? Why does having a SSD disk matter for running Node.js?

Why $13 Patriot Memory Supersonic Boost XT USB 3.0 8GB Flash Drive

Why $26 Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones or RF-MAB2 (if you can find a good deal)

Why Redshift for screen color temperature adjustment

Why Clementine music player (listen to Spotify and radio streams from DI.FM and Sky.fm easily)

you can put Why for 80 per cent of things in this setup.

Either you are a new dev and need a quick set up. Or you can hand pick items out of his list.

SSD is for development speed in general, not related to Node.js.

I am amazed at the long list and one simple wget. Nice.
