alis VS chezmoi

IMHO, it still lacks proper error handling. When i'm in a hurry, i usually end up using ALIS. https://picodotdev.github.io/alis/

have a look at ALIS by picodot. https://github.com/picodotdev/alis

No, it's like any other distribution. Even installation is now simplified through scripts like alis (https://picodotdev.github.io/alis/).

I like arch and I use alis to install it using systemd and xfce. There's no ide you need to manually edit the conf file and hope you didnt do anything it didnt like https://picodotdev.github.io/alis/

Suppose if I want to fit this os and all necessary app dependencies on a smart toaster or fridge... but maintain absolute stability and reasonable response metrics. Bare metal through full capability deployment is what I'm thinking with Linux auto install, similar to https://github.com/khuedoan/homelab or https://github.com/picodotdev/alis

Sorry I can't help but I wanted to say I was able to manually set up my partition using parted on the arch installer and this script allowed me to choose the boot and root partition https://github.com/picodotdev/alis

Arch. I prefer using an install script for the first part of customization https://github.com/picodotdev/alis

I've always had sync issues with iCloud Drive when storing developer projects and related things there. It ends up stuck or confused or conflicted but tries to resolve the merge conflicts opaquely and it's hard to know there's a problem in real time vs until later when you find something broken. I keep all dev things out of iCloud after getting burned by this enough times over the years.

To OP: Consider a repo dotfiles setup like using Chezmoi or similar. Transitioning to it was less friction than I expected and the only downside really is having to remember to commit changes across devices.

chezmoi (<https://chezmoi.io> or <https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi>) has a couple dozen txtar tests. They are both amazing and completely frustrating to use, but I don't think that there would be a better way to test most of what chezmoi does without them.

Tom Payne (the creator and primary developer of chezmoi) has added some extra commands to the txtar context which makes things easier for certain classes of testing.

Thanks, I never heard of it before and it looks really interesting.

However, it seems that it does not cover all of my needs: https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi/discussions/1510#discussi...

once i need a more complex solution (eg. for machine specific stuff), i'll probably switch to chezmoi which has more features and native windows support

I’ve been using chezmoi, which uses git, to manage my dot files and have different branches for these types of experiments.

https://chezmoi.io is a dotfile manager that is runs on multiple OSes (including Windows) while handling differences from machine to machine, allows you to store your secrets in your password manager (so you don't have to store secrets in your dotfile repo), and it even supports the NO_COLOR environment variable. Check it out! Disclaimer: I'm the author.

There's a comprehensive list of the most popular dotfile managers at https://dotfiles.github.io/utilities/.
