    I follow a very similar approach, keeping everything related to Emacs in one org file to be tangled to early init, init, or system specific files. I do however install org mode via straight.el by triggering the install in my init.el before tangling the org file. Here is my config: https://github.com/xcapaldi/dotfiles/blob/main/config.org
