Better than Windows at least

I use Chezmoi but I have to point out some of its downfalls vs. other dotfile managers, particularly if someone is looking to migrate to it.

• Go’s templating lib is incredibly unergonomic.
• Identifying file perms and visibility in by special naming convention is pretty gross. Also makes it more difficult to migrate to another solution.
• If you’re deleting files, you need to remember to do it through chezmoi remove .... You can’t just rm them from your dotfiles directory, because chezmoi does not sync state; it simply applies what’s currently in your repo.
• Handling multiple systems through .chezmoiignore ends up being overly verbose and unintuitive vs. the approach used by other dotfile managers

Despite these gripes I still use it because deployment via a single binary is convenient, and there’s enough control through the generated config file + system info to handle multiple kinds of deployments sort-of-sensibly (see point 4 above).

Been enjoying the heck out of this as well!

“The ~$10MM in profit we booked last year is not enough!” The curse of infinite growth.

“Arch bro” - for my daily and newer servers Ubuntu for my older file server Playing around with NixOS as I’d like to move my servers to that, and possibly my daily at some point. Depends on compatibility and usability.

I like i3, at some point when I finally move to Wayland I’ll move to Sway. Going to try Hyprland as well though, 'cause why not
