dotfiles/README.md

dotfiles

Why?

• A single repository that manages all my machines: Framework13, and Steam Deck
• Must be able to:
  • apply configuration to any machine from my main Framework13 laptop
  • encrypt and store secrets I might need here
  • define common service definition and decide which machine gets which service / config
• Must be able to manage home directory, dotfiles and ~/.config via this repository
  • dislike symlinking

The current setup
