I'm not suggesting you do this (and I certainly don't) but arguably you could still manage that with just files on Linux boxes: 1. Cronjobs replaced with systemd user timers 2. User packages (i.e. brew install or $HOME/bin) with systemd user services and distrobox manifest files 3. I don't think there's a `defaults` equivalent on Linux or at least not one that isn't file based (and thus manageable through dotfiles) So maybe that's just an OSX concern.
