Dotfiles Management
You can use chezmoi to manage files outside your home directory if you really want to.
For an example, see https://github.com/felipecrs/dotfiles:
The `home` directory contains home directory files.
The `root` directory contains root directory files (e.g `/etc`).

Running Docker on WSL2 the right way
For example, in my dotfiles, every single of these steps are automated, including configuring /etc/docker/daemon.json, changing ~/.profile, and even providing a way to automatically update your extra binaries (docker-compose, or the wincred.exe) every time you update your dotfiles (by using a feature of chezmoi - a dotfiles manager which I totally recommend).

Allow all applications to access Dropbox or Google Drive files
I am using mackup to sync application preferences between devices over Dropbox. Now if any application with synced preferences is started I will get a question if given application is allowed to access Dropbox files (because it tries to access its preferences). Examples below.

The best Mac Apps to unlock your max potential (recommended by users of r/MacOs )
Yeah, I went through a similar process when I finally upgraded my MBP after 8 years on a 2013 MBP. In light of the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon, I decided to do some spring cleaning with a fresh install. I ended up curating my own setup/bootstrap scripts as well as using mackup to backup and sync my dotfiles and app configs.

Sync settings
I use Mackup which syncs a many app settings including Raycast to your choice of location.

Dotfiles Management
I moved away from using a dotfiles repo a few years ago because I kept forgetting to add/commit files as I changed them.
Instead I use mackup[0] which automatically manages symlinks to your Dropbox/Drive/Share and has support for a huge amount of software by default. You can also manually add “extra” files you wish to track if you like.

Trying to learn Homebrew-macOS /usr/local layout --for purpose of--> migrating /usr/local from one Macbook to another
Brew bundle will install fresh copies of your package list. If you have any configuration files that you want to reuse, you’d have to transfer those separately. This might help https://github.com/lra/mackup
