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?

I won’t lie, it was a learning curve. That said you don’t have to go full blown nixos. I use nix + home manager to manage my macOS and Ubuntu user dotfiles.
You can also use nix per project with dev shells and direnv to automatically load the dev shell when in the repo.
I maintain a nix config for my work’s repo and it keeps everyone (Mac or Linux) on the exact same version of our tooling (node, python, bash, etc.).
