> All customizations in one place. Easier for sync / backup, easier to ramp up new machine.
Linux's flexibility is its greatest strength, yet the endless maze of scattered configurations and customizations turns setup into a tedious, error-prone process. Every new machine becomes a painful chore of piecing together dotfiles, scripts, and tweaks, making reproducibility a constant challenge.
I'm trying to introduce a solution, basing on my experience. This is how I packed all customizations into a single directory, and have it synced with Nextcloud (and git).
The top challenge is to gather all customizations & put all of them into a single place. I know you have your own sync tool / backup solution. No worry, it's up to you to determine how u want to backup them!

You might say, I use install-my-pkgs.sh for task-1, systemd for task-2 (probably multiple files everywhere), shell-rc for task-3 (probably with .profile), crontab for task-4 (probably with some systemd mess), dotfile for task-5.
Nice. You have just demonstrated how to reproduce that ugly mess: Various customization everywhere.
This project is to manage everything in a centralized folder. If you back it up & recover, your workspace is back. If you move this single folder to another PC, it turns into your familiar workspace.
