    I'll echo the other comments recommending to stick with "defaults". However, I do like having the ability to sync my installed packages and apps across machines, so I wrote a little script to update/reinstall packages on macOS using brew: https://github.com/maxpetretta/dotfiles

    Between my dotfiles and cloud storage, you could throw my laptop in a lake and I could configure a brand new machine in an hour or two.

    I use both MacOS and a few Linux distros. To be honest, I only love auto-tiling feature (on MacOS I use yabai for auto tiling) and I do not need any window manager on Linux as well. I use Gnome with my own configurations. You can check my dotfiles repository if you want: https://github.com/excalith/.dotfiles Screenshot is only my terminal config, no window manager there. You can check this folder configurations I made. Maybe you can find something useful
