Having trouble installing StumpWM
You can see https://github.com/podiki/dot.me/tree/master/x11 for more, but that is the important part.

This is how computing should feel
In case it helps, you can see my configs for both in my dot files: https://github.com/podiki/dot.me I recently did a lot with my Stump config as I was energized by returning to it, doing things I didn't realize I could do before. It does need cleaning up now.

How To Version Control (Git) Dotfiles Tangled with Org
I have a similar setup to what you are asking about, I think. I haven't migrated everything to org-mode, but many are. You can see my dotfiles here: https://github.com/podiki/dot.me

How(/where) do you load your icon and color themes?
So you should be able to have just about everything in user profiles/manifests and probably it is a search path here not being exported. If it is helpful, I have my config stuff here https://github.com/podiki/dot.me (see the guix and zsh directories specifically)

I Built My New Linux Gaming Desktop in 2021 with AMD (CPU+GPU) and GNU Guix
I better get right on it! If you are curious, you can see my current Guix config here [0], though not very commented. But those files (combined with the rest of my dot files) would reproduce this system configuration.

Just out of curiosity, how many bytes/kilobytes/megabytes does your dot file weight?
I use org-mode to generate my file (see https://github.com/podiki/dot.me for all of them), with the main emacs org file weighing in at 72K or 1,865 lines (woah, it got long). While my .emacs file that will load this file is just 5.8K or 106 lines. I've been using, and customizing, emacs for a while...

A Way to Manage Dotfiles
Personally, I use git [0] along with GNU stow [1], combined with making the files directly from a literate Readme.org (e.g. [2]). I sync this repository between machines to update files, and when I make changes in the org-mode Readme file it automatically generates the new file. There are ways to pull in changes made to that file directly, but haven't needed to do that. My repo doesn't have the full details, but if you want to see it in action along with a few links and pointers, do take a look at [0]. I really like having it all together in one place, and with org-mode everything is very (human) readable.

Help regarding picom-jonaburg-git and XMonad WM on Arch
I have it running with a very similar setup (same picom fork, XMonad, nvidia, xinitrc), which you can see here, in case it helps: https://github.com/podiki/dot.me

Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
STOW is great, it is simple and works well especially combined with git. That's what I do [0], and recently combined it with org-mode for literate programming, so each program has just a README.org that then generates all the files via org tangle [1] [2]. For example, here is my file that generates my Xorg configuration [3] over several files, nicely readable on GitHub, in Emacs, or just as plain text.

Nix Home Manager Option Search
Many command line programs keep their configurations somewhere under $HOME. These are often called "dotfiles".
If you ever use more than one machine, likely you'll want the same configuration available on all those machines.. so you'll want some way to copy them to a new machine.
Some dotfile managers are quite simple, like dotbot. https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot
Home Manager from the Nix community is a bit more sophisticated. It allows for writing configurations in the Nix language, which is nice if you know/like Nix. (Nix is a powerful/expressive package manager. Nix is to apt-get what vim is to notepad).

Managing my dot files: Git bare or Stow ?
I started using DotBot a couple of years ago and love it. I store my git repo at ~/.dotfiles, and DotBot handles the symlinking and everything

Dotfiles Management
Dotbot (https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) has worked extremely well for me. It’s simple to setup, has minimal dependencies, and it is also easy to run arbitrary commands if I want to get tricky with things. I would highly recommend it.

Please remind me of the thread on managing init.el for Emacs across multiple machines & OS'
You might also like something like https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot. I manage all of the config I care about with this, as part of a repo that also gives me all of the other system setup and customization I expect in my environment.

What's your vertical / horizontal split keys?
| for vertical split, - for horizontal split: easy to remember. I have lots of things in my config file, so I don't have an issue with a bit more customization. Installing my .tmux.conf is easy because I use the dotbot dotfile manager.

Anyone else using git submodules to manage your plugins?
I use dotbot to manage my dotfiles, which is good for anything I need to install prior to installing plugins (I use vim-plug).

Managing your Dotfiles with Dotter (Tutorial)
I'm glad you asked! There are plenty of dotfiles managers out there, like chezmoi, Dotbot, or yadm (you can see a list here and a comparison table (from chezmoi, thus biased) here. But for this tutorial (and my dotfiles), I chose dotter.
