I'm slowly getting to the point of "I want my computers to be a thin client around some config files". Treat your computer like cattle, rather than a pet, etc etc.


Same. I'm considering using a flatpak for this as it seems to have an interesting feature set to build a pre-setup development environment on top of. Just want my shell setup, tooling configs and a few other things bundled up in an easy to use fashion.

Currently I just have a git repo with my setup mostly in it (sans executables) with a way to get it going on a new machine. It works but is rather hackish and requires a bit of work to keep in sync.

Great idea! Also, restore from backup on every boot. The trouble is, I never reboot.
