I'm surprised people in this thread aren't talking about backups. I have my dotfiles stored under revision-control, like many others here. I have a couple of notes about the setup of each host I store too. But basically I install Debian packages and that's 99% of the my install.
The only stuff that I install, outside my own code, are things like the ARduino IDE, Firefox, Calibre, and they get installed beneath /opt
Despite the lack of "real" state I still take a backup every day, and that has saved me more than once.
- towb 7y agoWoops! Late answer. ~/ is backed up nightly and ~/.dotfiles is on github, have some other configs on there too that I don't keep in .dotfiles, not that it matters. The remember part is just that it doesn't really do any difference in the end, I will install what I need when I need it anyway, the important part is to keep the config that I have spent hours and days making mine. :)
