A few highlights from my two years' worth of experiments with used ThinkPads
This is how I do it, and I get maximum control over the installation.

I'm confused.
I have a very similar setup, but I use my custom wrapper over startx. Nothing fancy though: https://github.com/myTerminal/dotfiles/blob/master/.scripts/linux/mt-desktop-mode

What does Arch have that Void doesn't? (Sorry, please don't kill me)
I've used Arch for a while before switching to Debian and then Void. I still install my system using chroot (I did debootstrap for Debian too), so I did read the Wikis (and still do) and keep looking to install other distros the "Arch way".

I just want to execute apps without memorizing sentences...
I've been using this and this and I don't really care anymore.

Would you consider anything apart from Bash for configuration/setup scripts?
Getting to know Linux better from my initial days with beginner-friendly distributions to stepping into the manual installation of Arch (pacstrap), Debian (debootstrap), and Void (xbps) has taught me a lot more of Bash than I would have expected from myself. I now also maintain my personalized setup scripts along with my dotfiles. Furthermore, I also created twiner as a re-usable tool (that tries to be a lot of things at the same time), which "sort of" helped me deepen my understanding of Bash a little bit more.

Left to right: ThinkPad T470 (temporary machine), ThinkPad T61p (experimental machine), Dell Precision T3600 (secondary machine), and ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 (primary machine), all running Void Linux
I start from here and then it takes me to this, eventually to i3wm.

What's the general purpose behind dotfiles management software?
I've been maintaining my own dotfiles on GitHub for over seven years now (and probably have also overdone it at some point of time) and though I've had some small challenges to use them across machines, I've never experienced something as big that I'll need a third-party "dotfiles management" tool to take care of that for me. I sync it through my GitHub account and pull updates regularly. Fun fact: I've also been able to use the same one across macOS, Linux, and even Windows at work!

How I automated my workstation setup
All that we need for this step resides under here and fortunately, with all the scripts arranged as an independent Bash program, we'll only be running a single command and the scripts will take care of the rest for us.

What my workstation setup is to me
At one point, I eventually started maintaining a single bash file in my GitHub dotfiles with the command and so there was no need to maintain spreadsheets anymore. This arrangement also allowed me to document the commands required to configure additional package sources and remained as a single file for quite a long time until one day it all of a sudden exploded into multiple smaller files each for its own purpose.

Is there a problem with the latest `nvidia` release?
My setup is pretty-much automated as you can see here. I also have been keeping a separate partition for my home for years now, most of the data within being synced via Syncthing on several devices, and then I use pCloud for super-huge files. With BTRFS, the home now remains in the same partition as a dedicated sub-volume and I'm liking it till now.

If you use AUR packages, you might want to use an AUR helper that wraps pacman, like paru or yay.

ERROR after python3.11 update
Yay is hopelessly broken, it pretends to rebuild stuff when, in fact, it doesn't. See: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2153
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dotfiles and yay you can also consider the following projects:
fish-shell - The user-friendly command line shell.
paru - Feature packed AUR helper
dotfiles - Dotfiles for my NixOS system based on Dracula theme
trizen - Lightweight AUR Package Manager
syncthing-android - Wrapper of syncthing for Android.
ansible-aur - Ansible module to manage packages from the AUR
dotfiles - Let's be honest: mostly Emacs.
rua - Build tool for Arch Linux providing control, review and jailed build options
Minimalist-Dots - Dots
spotify-adblock-linux - Spotify adblocker for Linux
calamares - Distribution-independent installer framework
Visual Studio Code - Visual Studio Code
