Oh yep, they are declarative, and that’s what we’ve tried to implement with /system.yaml. pacman hooks and grub configs can be defined through /system.yaml (through a combination of the packages and commands arrays), but Plasma config is per-user and so wouldn’t be possible to declare unfortunately :( you can declare GNOME config though, fwiw

(disclaimer: blendOS dev here)

nix has home manager for that, but even then, plasma configs are a huge mess there.

thanks for the reply and your hard work :)

Why not just use home-manager on arch?

oh yep, should’ve clarified, /system.yaml’s, as the name might suggest (lol), for system-wide config only, and GNOME just so happens to support system-wide config (dconf and gsettings overrides); we used to have a utility for declaring config for individual users akin to home-manager in blendOS v3, but dropped it with v4 since that wasn’t used much; still might make a return though :)

thank you for your support! :)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
