This is one of the reasons I like GUIs. I can recreate almost all my configuration from scratch on a brand new Mint install in 15 minutes aside from a few VS code settings I'd need Google for.
My .xonshrc just has a few visual tweaks. I have set up exactly zero cron jobs aside from maybe whatever mint's backup stuff uses for a timer for the snapshots. I don't have any custom bash scripts that I use, other than some build scripts and things like that, that live in project repos.
I call it "decustomizing" as a counterpoint to minimalism. I don't try to simplify my life, I try to remove customization and unusual tech, even if that means using a 100MB app instead of a 1kb script I'd have to maintain myself.
I've just... had about enough of small time garage tinkering level projects at this point, and have really started to appreciate monolithic opinionated systems. Stuff that lets you do anything, in exactly one way.
