impermanence
Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]
Project mention: Xdg-ninja: checking your $HOME for unwanted files and directories | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-05This is a tough problem to solve. I currently use NixOS with impermanence [1] which is one way of solving it. Impermanence, in short, allows you to explicitely opt-in the files and directories that are persisted after each reboot.
So while my `~` is not "clean" in the sense that all my config files are in `~/.config`, it is "clean" in the sense that all files in `~` are there for a reason (i.e., `~` is not polluted by uninstalled packages).
