    Can’t believe nobody here mentioned nixOS so far? How about moving all of your configs in a flake and manage all of your systems with it?

      I made a git repo and started putting all of my dot files in a Stow and then I forgot why I was doing it in the first place.

        So that when setting up a new system, you can migrate all your user configuration easily, while also version-controlling it.

      I already have Ansible to manage my system and I like to have the same base between my pc and my server build muscle memory.

      If I was managing a pc fleet I would consider NixOS, but I don’t see the appeal right now.

        Okay, but why not create more work for yourself by rebuilding everything from scratch?
