  • Home Manager using Nix

    Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

    • home-manager and nixos in general are attempts to kind of 'clean up the mess' of dealing with dozens of configuration files and system state.

  • rcm

    rc file (dotfile) management

    • You already got a good amount of reasons from other comments. Just a sidenote: there are also dotfile managers that try to help with the mess. I personally use rcm ( https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm ) as it has a Deb repo and is portable as it's written in bash. I recommend looking into it. I have all my dotfiles in place on a fresh install with 3-4 commands in the terminal.
