Immutable distros and dot files / config files
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That is what I feared. Using another user is a solution but it feels inelegant. I wish there were some middle ground, like being able to pin the home folder or something. I'll take a look at your github!
I had another idea, collect the locations (you can create a PR just listing them commented out) and then move the files to
~/.config/kde
and hardlink (ln -S
) them to the used locations.Iconsets and maybe themes are also problematic and not directly KDE related, but these are the ones that cause compatibility issues.
I would also like to separate it between core Plasma (what Kinoite has installed) and the full KDE suite, and I would focus on core Plasma first.
