i do the same (dotfiles with symlinking script) and it’s mostly great, but I’d recommend against os-specific switching in the scripts and files themselves. it’s the way i’d always done it previously but i switched to git-branch-per-system and it’s much better. the problems started when “chromebook linux” was different than “other laptop linux” and then “server linux” (not to mention os x) and there kept being more and more messy logic. separate git branches is way easier and has the benefit of a sort of “inheritance” of the shared stuff (branching and rebasing)
