When one spend enough time using window managers configuration files can pile up fast… How do you keep them safe?

  • Do you copy to an external drive?
  • Do you upload to a cloud service?
  • Do you have a dedicated git repository?

    Most applications, if there is not dotfile config in $XDG_HOME/.config or $HOME, will generate dotfiles with sane defaults.

    When I switched distros often it was routine for me to erase the dotfiles specific to say, GNOME or Plasma, as they’d then be restored to default settings.
