Regarding copying over settings between macOS and Linux, powerusers usually maintain their own dotfiles and it's not a problem to make it somewhat OS-agnostic, so you can set up a similar environment within minutes.
- theshrike79 5y agoYes, you can set up an environment in minutes with an OS-agnostic dotfiles repo. BUT first you need to spend a good year bikeshedding said repo and picking a sync tool and a versioning strategy and testing it and and. =) I've been there already.
- butwhywhyoh 5y agoYou keep using the word bike-shedding incorrectly. Did you just learn this word and are really excited to use it everywhere?
- theshrike79 5y ago"Bikeshedding, also known as Parkinson's law of triviality, describes our tendency to devote a disproportionate amount of our time to menial and trivial matters while leaving important matters unattended." ie. spending way too much time configuring your working environment vs actually working.
